Tania Vrancic - ‘Into the Land’
solo exhibition
closing date Sun 8 Feb
Poatina Tree Art Gallery.
Tania Vrancic’s abstract landscapes are drawn from the experience of immersing herself in nature.

She aims to capture the feeling of walking through nature. The works resonate with expressive line marking, enhanced with subtle tones and hues conveying depth and light.

If you are travelling in the Tasmanian midlands why not visit Poatina and The Poatina Tree Art Gallery to see the work first hand.

Poatina loved having our latest Arts Tasmania AIR, potter Suemi Chiba! Suemi’s residency goal was to start a body of work composed of porcelain moon jars with surface decoration of mishima, sgraffito and underglaze painting that depicts the spirit of Kunyanyi/ Mt Wellington. She also harvested local clay to experiment with 😊
