Painted en plein air at main Boulder Beach, northern NSW.
This is the second painting in the Outback Odyssey series, inspired from studies made at Fowler’s Gap in the far
A favourite spot to paint en plein air, surrounded by national park and birdsong.
My artwork is permanently on display at Lennox Arts Collective 2/72 Ballina St Lennox Head 2478.
I share the space with seven other creatives and we take it in turns to be on duty.
I am usually on on Wednesdays 10 -3pm and run an art class in the morning.
Art was at the centre of my life as a child and adolescence and I always had a dream that I could become a full time artist.
The interesting thing is that my life of medicine has really led me on to teaching art and leading art retreats as I use the communication skills I learned at the bedside and the education skills I learned as a medical educator.
I have a sense of leading people on a holistic creative journey that improves their approach to their lives and has therefore extended my role in helping with emotional, physical and mental health in the art studio.
The home studio (pictured) can be visited by appointment but you can see Christine’s work at the Lennox Arts Collective Gallery 2/72 Ballina St Lennox Head, currently open 10 – 3pm every day.
Prior to full retirement in 2016 Dr Christine Read was for more than twenty years a family doctor in Manly, NSW and later a sexual health physician and Medical Director of Family Planning, NSW.
