Inscape: Reflections of Land and Life

Inscape: Reflections of Land and Life showcases the extraordinary works of Louise Foletta, celebrating a lifetime dedicated to exploring the Australian landscape.

Known for her mastery of watercolour and deep connection to place, Foletta’s art captures both the fragility and resilience of the environment through quiet observation. This exhibition draws viewers into the landscapes that have shaped her life – from the devastation of the 2009 bushfires to the delicate wildflowers of Mt Cathedral and vast, layered outback vistas. Each painting reflects her decades-long commitment to studying, teaching, and interpreting nature with intrigue and fascination.

Her use of watercolour combines contemporary design with traditional technique, resulting in works that invite reflection on humanity’s relationship with the land. Foletta’s practice embodies a profound respect for nature’s beauty, strength, and vulnerability, offering a meditative journey through Australia’s diverse environments.
