The paintings in this exhibition are selected from a body of work inspired by Georgiadis’s Australian Landscape Painting Road Trip. The road trip was undertaken solo in 2015, across some of Australia’s most remote and desolate outback regions and made possible through a crowdfunding campaign.

Crossing vast swathes of desert country, 142km north east of Broken Hill, Georgiadis discovered Mutawintji and fell in love with this sacred place. The remoteness. The isolation. The long never ending red dirt roads. The solitude. The silence. The sheer beauty and majesty of Mutawintji Gorge. Crossing the desert alone, Georgiadis spent an entire day exploring the Gorge, nowhere near long enough, but enough to know that she must return. The inspiration Georgiadis gained from one day in this sacred place, continues to flow into painting after painting.

It was here Georgiadis found the essence of the Australian Outback landscape she searched for.
