ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
GARY Johnston
Original Oil Paintings of Australian Birds on Primordial Rock.During the month of July, Gary was resident in our Gallery and painting in oil on our 1200 million year old Primordial Rock unique to the East Kimberley.
His subjects are the many native bird species that inhabit the gardens around the Gallery. Gary invites you to look on as he paints the vivid plumage onto the rock.
Examples of some of Gary’s paintings on Primordial rock are shown below.
His miniatures are highly sought after and a priceless memento of your stay in the Kimberley.
Gary visits the Gallery from his home base in Melbourne each year and we are particularly fortunate that he is able to stay with us for longer this year. With a passionate interest in art, and Australian wildlife since childhood, and a varied career ranging from farming, to wholesale, and retail businesses, Gary finally realised his love of art and exploring Australia by painting Australian Flora and Fauna, in oils, on items created from unique Primordial Rock sourced in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia.
His realist wildlife artwork has been purchased by people from more than 20 different countries, and also by Government Departments as corporate gifts.
