SURFACE STORIES – Paintings and Ceramics by Julie Lynch and Justine Wellman

Surface Stories brings together the expressive worlds of Julie Lynch and Justine Wellman in a vibrant celebration of Australian flora and fauna. Through richly painted canvases and intricately illustrated ceramics, the exhibition explores the stories that lie just beneath the surface of the everyday.

Julie Lynch’s bold botanical paintings are full of life—evoking the lush colours, textures, and character of native blooms and birds. In harmony, Justine Wellman’s hand-crafted ceramic forms are etched and painted with natural scenes that wrap around each vessel, inviting touch as much as sight.

Together, their works offer two distinct yet connected voices, united by a deep love for nature and storytelling. From brushstroke to carved line, each piece shares a moment of quiet observation and artistic joy.
