Robyn Baker is a great storyteller with strong family ties. In this exhibition Baker presents us with works influenced by people out west. She is in admiration of their strong character and an ability to endure the lifestyle of their remote environment. Their stories are interpreted and made palatable through her paintings. These rugged bush characters are weathered and toughened by the life of this harsh and sometimes isolated environment.
These are cherished stories that have a strong influence on Baker and she has captured these characters with a very personal style and painterly form. Her exploration to the West has allowed her to relive some of those memories and create new and inventive stories for this exhibition.
