Mary Macqueen
1912-1994 - Painter, printmaker and teacher. Born in Carlton in 1912. In 1939 she began painting in watercolours, studied drawing under George Bell 1946-47 and printmaking at RMIT 1956-58, where she later taught drawing and printmaking. In 1945 she held the first of many solo exhibitions.
She was essentially a graphic artist, mainly producing works on paper, with a strong foundation in drawing but exploiting the decorative possibilities of colour. Her favoured print medium was lithography and her preferred subjects animals, birds and landscape.
She won numerous prizes for drawings, prints and watercolours and is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, most state and regional galleries Refer: Concise Dictionary of Australian Artists edited by Robert Smith, Melbourne University Press, 1993, page 169
“Macqueen’s art, I’m tempted to say, is basically an art of sympathy, for what it most vividly demonstrates is how enchanting the world may be when it is looked at with amusement and affection.” The Age, Gary Catalano, 27th August 1986. Review of Mary Macqueen exhibition and book launch at Charles Nodrum Gallery, Richmond, 1986

Paintings from Fitzroy Crossing
Fitzroy Crossing is on the Great Northern Highway on the banks of the mighty Fitzroy River, about 400 km south east of Broome. The artists come from the Great Sandy Desert where waterholes are the most significant feature of the landscape. The waterhole not only meant survival, it is where the important rituals traditionally took place. These sacred locations are a feature of many of the works in this exhibition.
