My body of work represents what makes my home important to me: the landscape \u2013 a vast land full of stories; my beloved cattle dogs Korra and Pip; a Red Angus cow. My work communicates ideas of country life and, on a personal level, what makes my home a comfort and place of respite from the business of the city. The tin and wood, found on my farm, were fundamental in conveying the concept of home and rural life.<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-13654 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-12.35.05\u202fpm.png\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-12.35.05\u202fpm-516x640.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-12.35.21\u202fpm.png\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-19-at-12.35.21\u202fpm-535x640.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"highlight\" style=\"text-align: left\"><i style=\"font-size: 1.4rem\"><em>Miss Lili Negrine, Visual Arts Coordinator<\/em><\/i><\/div>\n<div data-block-enewsletter=\"text\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"row enewsletter-text-block\" data-block-enewsletter=\"text\">This article on College life meets The Archbishop&#8217;s Charter for Catholic Schools &#8211; Charter #1, #2, #8\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was so special to celebrate the opening night of ArtExpress at the Mudgee Arts Precinct on Friday 16th of May and see Class of 2024 student Angela Littler&#8217;s Visual Arts Body of Work on display.
