Join award-winning mixed media artist Cathy Shugg for Being There — an evocative exhibition that celebrates the vitality and beauty of natural landscapes across the globe.
Known for her energetic style and rich, expressive layering, Cathy creates work that responds directly to the world around her. From remote mountains to coastal edges, Cathy paints en plein air, immersing herself in the landscape to capture its spirit and essence.
With paintings made across six continents, Being There is both a visual travelogue and a personal reflection on connection, place and presence. These works – developed through artist residencies, solo expeditions and immersive adventures – are inspired by the idea of showing up, staying curious, and finding beauty in the natural environment, wherever it may be.
Cathy is a widely exhibited artist and educator, whose work is held in collections throughout Australasia, Europe, the UK and North America. As a feature artist and teacher for creative organisations in Australia and overseas, she brings deep insight and passion to both her art and her community.
Whether you’re an art lover, nature enthusiast or curious wanderer, Being There offers a powerful and personal glimpse into the places that inspire us – and the creative process of truly being present in them.
