Julz Beresford: As Time Drifts on a River's Path
As Time Drifts on a River’s Path, features paintings from the two regions Julz Beresford has had a close relationship with since her childhood and with which she still has a deep connection: The Snowy Mountains and The Hawkesbury River. “I tend not to paint the Hawkesbury all year because I yearn to improve my trade and I believe to get better I need to shift gear to a different landscape. It’s important for me to jump around a little bit. It keeps me alive and makes me really think about what I am trying to achieve.”

The Scrutineer XVIII: Julz Beresford
“I am always questioning myself, asking if I am expressing the feeling of the place when I paint. I want to capture the moments when I was on the water or the magic of the mountains. I want to remember the way I held the paintbrush while I was out there ‘plein air’ because it felt right. Each painting has its own story.” Pieces of paper attached to her studio walls have handwritten notes reminding her to “express the purpose of place”, “celebrate the paint” and “lose yourself in the moment of expression”.
