Spirit of the Highlands is an exhibition by local artists Nadia Kliendanze and Pam Gleeson on now at The Old Auction House in Kyneton.
The two artists present two starkly contrasting perspectives of the diverse landscapes of Victoria’s Central Highlands.
From the rugged majesty of the Macedon Ranges to sprawling tranquil farmlands, through cloud-shrouded winters and dry, sun scorched summers, the artists take us on a visual journey that transcends the canvas they work with.
Nadia’s surreal interpretations and Pam’s moody realism embrace qualities of time and place that resonate with all those who know and love this unique region.
Both Nadia and Pam feel a deep responsibility to raise awareness of the fragility of this beautiful place and its need for preservation.
The Central Highlands region faces numerous challenges including habitat loss and the wider effects of climate change. Through their art, they hope to inspire a sense of stewardship and appreciation for this precious region.
Sprit of the Highlands runs until November 11 and is open daily from 10am – 4pm at The Old Auction House, 52-56 Mollison Street, Kyneton.
