AUSTRALIA 2011
ULURU – AYERS ROCK 9–14 APRIL
RED EARTH RETREAT
With EMMA WALKER
Our indigenous culture holds a deeply spiritual connection with the land that dates back more than fifty thousand years. Uluru is an extraordinary manifestation of Nature & Spirit that has the power to change one’s perception of life. This unique retreat offers a rare opportunity to be under the seasoned guidance of Emma Walker, a master of contemporary art with many years experience in teaching and exhibiting. We will be sketching and painting outdoors (in and around Uluru), gathering material for works in progress, visiting sacred sites and meeting local artists.
In this retreat Emma will cater to the individual needs of all participants, encouraging works that reflect both the surrounding environment as well as our internal landscape. Her energetic and generous teaching style masterfully draws one deeply into the art-making process, stretching us into new and experimental ways of painting, with a variety of techniques and mixed media.
‘Emma Walker is one of Australia’s most convincing and original painters with work both audacious and poetic. The emotions and moods of her works are conjured directly out of the processes of painting, unmediated by theory or jargon. With paint and staggering textural effects, Walker plays deftly with poetic links between the microscopic in nature and the distantly observed‘ Sebastian Smee, renowned art critic.
Tim Olsen Galleries in Sydney, Flinders Lane Gallery in Melbourne and Gaffer Studio in Hong Kong represent her works.
