Melissa Fraser: Between Moments

11 Jun 2025 – 29 Jun 2025

McCubbin Gallery

A collection of recent works exploring the quiet beauty of observation. From the abstract lines etched by waves into sand, to the implied forms of colourful teapots and the minimalist grace of black-and-white alpacas, these paintings trace the in-between spaces of daily life and nature. Unified by a gentle sensibility and thoughtful use of line, each piece invites the viewer to pause—to notice, to feel, and to find meaning in the subtle and the serene.
