Anne Marie Graham

Highly regarded art historian and curator Jane Clark has described Anne Marie Graham's art as a "celebration of life". Her lengthy career encompasses many more themes than the lush tropical landscapes featured in this mini-book. She has brought her unique style to scenes from Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens and the arid inland as well as the streets and markets of France and Italy. Often they include figures, sometimes miniscule in relation to their surrounds but comfortable within their colourful environment. Graham says: "I use colour as a major vehicle for mood." In this mini-book, we are treated to the moods of tropical North Queensland, which Graham has visited many times over the last decades.
