KE Wilson Art

Being raised on the land imprints landscape deep within the psyche.

As children we were always in contact with nature, roaming across paddocks and along dirt tracks, immersed in the sensory experience of place. To get anywhere we had to travel through landscape – bouncing around on the back seat of the Holden Kingswood I would be peering out the window, eating up the magic of ever-changing scenes.

Without access to metropolitan art schools, or art as a subject at school, I have learnt through observation and classes taken as an adult. Living with a chronic condition that limits my physical capacity, I paint when windows of opportunity arise. And, when I am unable to get 'out and about' painting gives me a way to reconnect with the land.
