Our latest gallery venture is situated in Berrima, in the verdant rolling hills of the Southern Highlands, halfway between Sydney and Canberra.
Berrima village is a key fixture on trips through the historic towns of the region. It is renowned for its heritage, natural beauty, cooler climate, wineries, equestrian activities and diverse arts community.
We are open from 10am to 5pm every day except Sunday, when we are open from 10am to 4pm.

Suzie Riley: Familiar Ground
In the studio, Suzie Riley's paintings are developed slowly through the layering of transparent glazes and dense impasto.

As a young boy, Aleks Berzins was mesmerised watching his maternal grandfather use horses to pull a plough through the earth on his Southern Highlands farm. “When you see a team of eight horses ploughing a paddock – eight individual horses working together with all that power – there was something about it that hooked me,” Aleks explains. “The horses love learning.

“Walking is central to my practice,” Potter says. “It is how I gather sensory impressions and bear witness to the ephemeral: the shifting path of a flock of birds, the imprint of a well-travelled footpath, or the brief impression of waves on sand.” These details are not rendered directly, but absorbed into the surface. “Sometimes it’s a more enduring trace,” she continues, “like a fossil embedded in rock. It’s these sorts of images that find their slippery way into my paintings.”
