Established landscape painter Terry Watts, has been a member of the prestigious Royal Society of British Artists since 2006. His fascination with landscapes was first explored through photography, after which he moved towards painting as a means of expression that could better capture the subtleties of color, texture and light.
Watts began his artistic studies at the Camberwell College of Art before moving to the Hammersmith College of Art, both based in London. Having gained a degree in the sciences followed by work in the field of education, he returned to the art world to work on large, sculptural landscape projects for the London Docklands Development Corporation, Merton Borough Council (home of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships) and British Gas. These commissions promoted a full-time move back toward the arts, at which point Watts began exhibiting in solo shows across England and joint shows in the United States, the Netherlands, Scotland and Ireland.
Though traditional in style and elementary in his choice of medium (acrylic paint on paper), Watts’s creations truly capture the starkness and majesty of the Great British countryside. Most notable are the clouds that crown the landscape. Like many esteemed British painters, this uncertain face of nature is of huge inspiration and Watts’s sublime representation of the ever-changing skies has seen him awarded various accolades, including Guest Prize at the Laing Landscape Competition, two first prizes at the London City Airport Competition, the Buzzacott Best Picture award at the Royal Institute and the Sunday Times Watercolour Competition.

Tjintjintjin Painting, Contemporary Acrylic on Linen Canvas, 2010+
By Walangkura Napanangka
Located in Miami, FL
As one of the last generation to remember a childhood lived in the desert hunting and gathering with her family, Walangkura Napanangka's paintings recall the stories of country and the location of specific sites in her traditional homeland west of the salt lake of Karrkurutinjinya (Lake Macdonald). Born around 1946, at Tjitururrnga west of Kintore, in the remote and arid country between the Northern Territory and Western Australia, she lived with her father Rantji Tjapangati and mother Inyuwa Nampitjinpa and later, while still a teenager, travelled by foot with her family over the hundreds of kilometres from their remote desert home eventually joining Uta Uta Tjangala's group as they walked in to the settlements of Haasts Bluff and then Papunya. The lure of settlement life with its promise of plentiful food and water belied the harsh conversion they would make to an alien lifestyle with its many problems and unfamiliar demands. The upheaval however, was ameliorated to some degree by the proximity of her immediate family including her mother Inyuwa, adoptive father Tutuma Tjapangati, and sister Pirrmangka Napanangka (now deceased) all of whom became artists. Relocated to the community of Kintore in 1981 when the outstation movement began, Walangkura participated in the historic women's collaborative painting project (1994) that was initiated by the older women as a means of re-affirming their own spiritual and ancestral roots. It was a time of specifically female singing, ceremony and painting, away from the gaze of outsiders and men folk. The huge and colourful canvases that emerged from the women's camp were 'alive with the ritual excitement and narrative intensity of the occasion' (Johnson 2000: 197). Within a year, Papunya Tula Artists, now established at Kintore, had taken on many of these women as full-time artists, revitalising the company after the deaths of many of the original 'painting men'. While individual women forged their own stylistic trajectory, these paintings were immediately distinguishable from the men's more cerebral and symmetrical style. They radiated an exuberant and vibrant energy, the felt heart-beat of women's affinity to country and spirit. Walangkura's early works, created from 1996 onward, are characterized by masses of small markings and motifs covering large areas of canvas. Her favorite colour, a deep sandy orange predominates, accentuated against more somber blacks and reds and dusky greens or yellows. More recent works show a gestural quality though still tightly packed with an intensity of geometric line work representing sandhills. In a sense this provides a strong visual and contextual link to the men's linear style as exemplified by the works of George Tjungurrayi...
