KUNANYI - A BOTANICAL JOURNEY
BETT GALLERY, JULY 2023
‘The watercolour paintings in this exhibition follow the variation in iconic plants that survive on kunanyi as climate and exposure changes, from the shrubby plants found at lower levels through to those surviving in the windswept alpine heath at 1200 meters. All but one of the plants found on kunanyi in this exhibition are endemic to lutruwita/Tasmania.’ — from the website Exhibition introduction
