Following the artist camp at Pitcairn Station in May 2021, this exhibition is showing the works of eight artists, including Cait Wait, which have been created since then. Caits paintings feature the coastal region where she lives, whilst the other works feature inland country.
Across Country Artist Camp. May 23 - 29th, 2021.
Nine artists including myself, spent the week at Pitcairn Station, near Peterborough in SA, in the company of John R Walker and Dr Ann Sanders, as part of a project organised by Denise Officer through Burra Regional Art Gallery. Each day was spent “en plein aire" drawing, painting, and interpreting the dry country. We used Chinese folding books introduced by artist JRWalker. Some of our works will be included in an exhibition at BRAG, complementing the Across Country exhibition by John R Walker. It was an inspiring and challenging artist camp.

The Artist and the Poet. the final weekend of exhibition at Burra
KA Nelson and Cait Wait with "Warraweena Artists" Alison Laycock and Denise Offdicer spent a great afternoon with a local audience and visitors in conversation at the Burra gallery. We wrote haikus in response to the art works under Kerries' guidance and enjoyed a celebratory drink whilst Kerrie read from Inlandia ..her latest publication.
