Penny Mason “To the Side”

An opportunity to view and enjoy Blenheim Gallery artist Penny Mason’s recent works having undertaken an Artist residency at Scotch Oakburn College. Carmel Dilger, Community Arts Coordinator at Scotch Oakburn College is very pleased to invite you to our s.p.a.c.e. Gallery exhibition: Penny Mason, To the Side.

The exhibition will be opened Wednesday 1 May at 5:30 pm by Jennie Caswell, Director of Blenheim Gallery and Garden.

About the artist:

‘A graduate of the Tasmanian School of Art, (1970), and Monash University MFA (Research) (2004) Penny’s painting career spans four decades. Her main interests exist in ideas that circulate around the idea of landscape in the context of Tasmania, particularly the representation of land, country, sites, and views.

Her work is generated by using several randomising techniques while exploiting temperature, gravity, vibration and frost etching to create fields and surfaces that evoke landscape features and details within.

Penny has participated in many group shows and undertaken regular solo exhibitions since first exhibiting at the George Paton Gallery, Melbourne (1977). Recent solo exhibitions include; Weather Events, Moonah Art Centre, Contemplations, Sawtooth ARI, Launceston (2018), Floating Worlds, Raft south, Hobart (2016) and Found in Translation, s.p.a.c.e Gallery Launceston, (2014)’ (Penny Mason Artist Profile — Blenheim Gallery And Garden).

Penny is a finalist in the 2024 UniSQ Biennial Art Award.

Our gallery is open Monday to Friday 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
