Coffee with Art - September

Capturing the beauty of the everyday

Winner of the Evelyn Chapman Award and Muswellbrook Art Prize in 2022, Newcastle based artist Rachel Milne shares her art practice, showcasing intimate paintings and portraits of her home and studio as well as the paintings that document the changing face of Newcastle. Painting en plein air the artist’s impressionist style subscribes to Intimism. The artist believes that her work is all about the process, addressing the structure, tone and colour of her varied subjects.

Newcastle Art Gallery commissioned Milne to document the Gallery in paint before the commencement of the expansion project.

Bookings and payment required prior to event.
