Artists in residence for this show:
Vicki Rochau
Vicki has participated in group exhibitions at the Barossa Regional Gallery. ‘Barossa Illuminated’ was an opportunity to create a digital projection of an art piece for display on the face of the building. Last year, a watercolour of Vicki’s was chosen to represent the Barossa Valley Council in a state banner competition. Vicki’s entry went on to win second place in the state. Vicki has also entered a pastel in ‘Unearthed’ and an audio installation for the Barossa Cooker Book Exhibition at the Barossa Regional Gallery. She has curated the first two exhibitions at the Lambert Estate Gallery and exhibited her work in the ‘Portrayal’ Exhibit in 2017. Most of Vicki’s sales are from exhibiting her work in local wineries, cafes and Art at Auburn Gallery and from her Instagram page. Her work is currently on display in Dell’uva Wines Greenock. Vicki is participating ‘Drawing on Country’ at Vasse Virgin at Seppeltsfield, ‘With a Twist’ in Auburn and ‘Synchronicity’ Dell’uva SALA exhibitions in 2018.
Sue Baker

Sue, a singer-songwriter who performed with her band The Sourdoughs at The Barn in July, is relatively new to creative expression through art. Leading up to her retirement, she was hooked on Encaustic Painting, after completing some local workshops. She is mesmerised by the creative process and the diverse characteristics of molten wax, pigments, and shellac. Like with her songwriting, Sue is inspired by nature, its simple beauty and inherent textures. Horizons often feature in Sue’s pieces. |
Our partner for this event is Ricca Terra Farms. Ricca Terra Vintners is 16 years in the making. Ashley & Holly Ratcliff have grown and sold their grapes to some of the greatest winemakers in Australia. Today, Ricca Terra Vintners has established the mantra to blend grape varieties in the vineyard rather than in the winery….and make wines of interest with stories to tell!
Gates open 5:30pm, music at 7:00pm. Great wines from Ricca Terra and some winter warming food will be available for purchase. No BYO food or drink please!
