Recent Work Outback NSW
- Christine Wrest-Smith

‘This exhibition is of a series of plein air works and studies from several trips I’ve made to outback NSW during recent times. 

 I find that the subject, and sometimes conditions, dictate the choice of media, so I take with me a variety of art supplies. 

 Works such as the ceramics and prints are produced later in the studio in response to memories and sensations evoked whilst travelling.’  – Christine Wrest-Smith, 2024
