Press Release: Rosemary's Garden - under the apricot tree
Eva Breuer Art Dealer is pleased to announce the opening of an exhibition of new paintings by Rosemary Valadon, Rosemary’s Garden - under the apricot tree. Following a sell-out show in 2009 of beautiful and delicate teacups, Valadon’s new paintings invite the viewer into her garden, which she describes as an "embracing environment for sharing with friends and family." Having gone through major health issues this year, Valadon has found "nourishment and solace in the things around [her]: the quiet moments in the garden, the fading light of the sunset, the tea ceremony, the call of the birds." Valadon established her garden in 2005 when she made Hill End her home. Boasting the "best apricots in town," under the apricot tree is a place for "meditative moments."
As part of the AGNSW prestigious Hill End Artists-in-Residence Program, Valadon spent a short time in a cottage once occupied by the artists Jean Bellette and Paul Haefliger. She continues the artistic legacy of Hill End which was established in the late forties by well-known artists including Donald Friend, David Strachan, Margaret Olley and Russell Drysdale.
Rosemary Valadon’s works are held in numerous public and corporate collections around the country including the National Portrait Gallery, Macquarie University, Muswellbrook Art Prize Collection and BHP Billiton. She has been a finalist in the Archibald Prize, Sulman Prize and Mosman Art Prize multiple times and has won the Portia Geach Memorial Award and Blake Religious Art Prize.

Artist Spotlight: Vince Vozzo
Who (or what) do you consider your artistic inspiration?
I have many inspirations one is reading philosophy and looking at great works of art. Or just having a break from my work and walking down to Newtown for a coffee. Another one is walking my dog to Sydney park and going on top of the highest peak staring at the planes taking off from Sydney airport.
Do you listen to music while you work, and if so, what is most often playing?
I don't listen to music while I work any more, I am in complete silence. Although I love all sorts of music, I really love guitar sounds like Santana and Jeff Beck.
Who of your peers do you respect the most?
There's a few American artist I like, I can't name them at the moment. I seem to like artists of the last century like Picasso, Brancusi, Giacometti and the list go's on.
Do you have any habits/rituals or strange superstitions when painting?
I try to work 7 days a week, always have an afternoon break and walk to Newtown for coffee, it keeps me sane.
When did you decide to become an artist?
I didn't decide to become an artist, it chose me.. I always remember my first stonecarving. I didn't have a clue what I was doing, all I know is from my very first carving it was like I gave birth, from that day I was a sculptor.
What is your favourite colour?
Blue
Do you have a favourite painting or work of art? If so, what is it?
There's to many works of art I like to mention, but what I will say is if I don't feel creative I just look at Picasso's work and I can do anything.
