Georgina Sambell Artist Residency
Georgina Sambell was the winner of the Regional Landscape Prize in 2022 and the recipient of the Regional Landscape Prize Artist Residency courtesy of Quest Apartments Orange.
During Georgina’s two-week artist residency in autumn 2023, she created a small body of work based on the surrounding landscape and towns. We are now absolutely thrilled to be able to exhibit this wonderful series at the gallery and online, see the collection below.

“In September I spent most of the month in the Ikara -Flinders Ranges and Vulkathunha -Gammon Ranges paintings and sketching on Adnyamathanha country. I camped out for a few days at Mount Chambers Gorge and painted this work from direct observation of the track going into the gorge, with the late afternoon light casting magnificent shadows across the land.” - Georgina Sambell.

Georgina is the recipient of the major $5000 cash prize, donated by generous sponsors Source Architects, as well as a two-week residency at Quest Orange in 2023, to complete a body of work inspired by the Orange landscape. Residency expenses will be partly covered courtesy of a grant from Arts OutWest Country Arts Support Program.
