Opening November 23, 2024
SHEPPARTON Art Museum (SAM) is excited to present Wish You Were Here, a new solo exhibition by local artist Carmel Robertson (pictured), opening on November 23, 2024, in the Hugh D.T. Williamson Community Gallery. Robertson, a figurative painter based in the Goulburn Valley, has spent the last year creating a series of oil paintings that reimagine the landscapes and landmarks of Shepparton through a surreal, dreamlike lens. Her work explores the town’s transient nature, with scenes of empty streets, vacant lots, and hidden corners that blur the boundary between the real and the imagined.
SAM curator Caroline Esbenshade describes the exhibition as a moody, evocative portrayal of Shepparton, offering a fresh perspective on familiar local scenery.
Join the team at SAM for the opening event on Saturday, November 23 at 2:30 pm, featuring a conversation with the artist. Registration is free via Humanitix: https://events.humanitix.com/exhibition-opening-or-carmel-robertson-wish-you-were-here
