Annette Peterson is a conceptual artist who uses painting, digital media and textiles to respond to her environment. Annette received the Major Acquisitive Award in the City of Stirling Art Awards and Exhibition 2021 for her digital work Shotgun Through Scarborough.

Annette’s residency will explore the concept of ‘Tender Connections’, inspecting the coastal plain, the grounds of Mt Flora Museum, local bushland, or perhaps a suburban front yard, seeking to illuminate intimate, often overlooked moments.

Annette will also host a variety of community engagement workshops throughout her residency, including plein air painting, photography sunset walks, sewing evenings, and the construction of a mandorla atop of Mt Flora lookout.
