“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see” - Degas
Through the Eyes of 5 Landscape Artists
Presenting works from 5 incredible landscape artists, this exhibition celebrates the inspiring Australian landscapes we call home.
Featuring the works of Bree Morrison, Clair Bremner, Jac Puntoriero, Kelly Kondis, and Lisa Kerr, each artist captures the spirit of the landscape in their own way; painting from personal experiences and the unique connections they feel to the land.
Clair Bremner
“I paint nature not as it is, but as it feels: bigger, brighter, bolder.”
I live and work in Warburton in Victoria’s Yarra Valley, surrounded by the ever-shifting beauty of the Australian bush. The winding rivers, towering eucalyptus trees, filtered light, and dense undergrowth are a constant source of inspiration in my work.
Rather than painting the landscape exactly as I see it, I respond to the feeling of being immersed within it — the hush of gum trees, the rhythm of branches, the warmth of earth and sky. Through bold colour, layered brushstrokes, and intuitive mark-making, I aim to capture the energy, movement, and emotional resonance of the bush.
My paintings are an invitation to pause, to reconnect with nature, and to experience the Australian landscape not just as a place, but as a living, breathing presence.

Inspired by the impressionists and colourists of the past, I find myself drawn to the beauty of nature and the emotion that I can convey through expressive brushstrokes. My love for painting landscapes is rooted in my fascination with the vibrant colours and textures found in the natural world. Through my art, I strive to capture the essence of these subjects and convey the emotions they evoke within me.

My artwork reflects my admiration for the natural world. I take great pride in bringing its beauty and complexity to life through my paintings. With each stroke of my brush, I try to capture the essence of a landscape and stylize it in a way that is uniquely my own.
I am intentional in my use of colour palettes, seeking to reflect the natural harmony found in the world around us while also exploring more unconventional combinations. My process is intuitive and spontaneous, allowing each painting to develop organically as I build each layer of paint.
“Bremner wields her brush with both loose intuition and delicate intention. She renders bushy billows of treetops in thick, knobbly strokes, but intricately flecked with the tiny blades of leaves or layered with wispy fronds. These precise patterns meet languid drips and erratic splashes that melt down each canvas where trunks or stems might otherwise be found. Her color palette, meanwhile, varies from one piece to the next, seeming to capture the moods of different hours and seasons despite the often surreal and even technicolor tones. ”
