Terry Swann
Terry is a contemporary landscape watercolourist with over 30 solo shows both in Australia and abroad.
Her works are held in Public and Private Collections including Federal Parliament House Offices, Brisbane and The State Library of Queensland.
My painting is a journey into landscape – an exploration of place.
I am drawn to Australia’s remote places where I feel a genuine connection to the land. There I paint on site in all weather conditions to capture the essence of the landscape.
As a plein air painter I find joy in each new area of discovery. Each painting takes on a life of its own with colour movement and lyrical expression. Majority of the work is completed on location.
