Winter Salon

Offering a luminous antidote to the season’s chill, the Michael Reid Northern Beaches team has curated a refined selection of new and collectable paintings for our special online exhibition, Winter Salon. From emotionally charged and joyously expressive landscapes that channel the gentler rhythms of the coast in its quieter months, to pieces whose vibrancy, quietude and embrace of interior subjects provide visual pause and delicate appeal, each work in this collection will bring elegance, verve and originality to the spaces they inhabit.

Representing some of the most beloved and in-demand names in our Northern Beaches stable and from across the broader Michael Reid network, the thirteen extraordinary artists joining forces for our 2025 Winter Salon include award-winning Dharawal/Wollongong-based contemporary painter India Mark, whose exquisitely composed, richly detailed and intimately scaled still-life paintings balance elegant restraint with a quiet intensity expressed via fiery underpainting.

Joining her are familiar names from our Newport gallery program, including Northern Beaches–represented artist Emily Gordon and previous exhibitors Anh Nguyen, Nicola Woodcock, Kate Vella, Emily Cullinan, Jennifer Ross, Meg Walters, Suzie Riley and 2024 National Emerging Art Prize Award of Excellence recipient Drew Truslove. Completing this dynamic assembly are Joanne Sisson, James Lai and Eleanor Pursglove – three exciting talents whose work we are thrilled to present for the first time at Michael Reid Northern Beaches.
