Drawn entirely from the Tweed Regional Gallery collection, this exhibition brings together artwork from each decade of Margaret Olley’s extraordinary career.

On display in the Margaret Olley Art Centre for the first time, A life in art will include a series of monotypes Olley made in Europe during her first overseas trip in the early 1950s. They showcase her keen eye for detailed observation and her strong foundation in drawing.

From her early, lesser-known landscapes to her later, much-celebrated still lifes, this exhibition reveals the journey of her enduring career and dedication to a life in art.
