  • For as long as Valeska can remember, drawing and painting have been her most favourite things to do.

    Combining her love of textiles and painting Valeska has sold her art for many years at handmade markets, primarily paintings on silk.

    Upon graduating from ANU, Valeska was successful in winning a residency at Bundanon Homestead with the Boyd Trust in 1996. The residency influenced her so much it changed her practice completely to a total focus on painting and drawing.

    Now Valeska paints with Acrylic and Oils and she loves to draw, especially with charcoal.

  • Identity in Landscape is and exhibition showcasing Valeska Tilly and Barbara Connolly at Tyger Gallery.

    Both artists developed a very early intrinsic connection to landscape and the bush environment close to their homes. Growing up in different states of Australia, as young children they both spent time in the bush playing and being alone with the spirit of the landscape. An understanding of the life force and energy of the country became instilled in both of them during these early years.

    Tilly uses mixed media to express her fascination with what is found in the landscape. Small things that hold a myriad of mysteries. A feather, a rock, a curled leaf all capture Tilly’s attention. The detail of small things including small creatures and how the delicate nature of these objects are in their fleeting time in existence is precious.

    Tilly says of her work: To stand still in the landscape and observe the sights and sounds around you, slowly allowing them to become part of your inner being. Beautiful simple artefacts have meaning and at the same time discovery of self.
