Much like the artist communities of Heidelberg School and Hill End, Upper Hunter artists Sue, Teresa, Alison, Hilary, and Fran have been drawn together by a mutual love of art, wine, fine food, and gardening. Having lamented the lack of time dedicated to their practice, the women began to meet regularly, usually in one another’s gardens, to paint, draw and share a meal together.

To further enhance their commitment, the exhibition ‘Up the Garden Path’ was born, a collection of drawings, paintings, and pastels inspired by a mutual passion for the botanical.
