Venita Salnjas : Wentworth Falls
2003 Mixed Media

These artworks I have created in mixed-media and photo-collage are studies of the area just near my home at Wentworth Falls where I lived for 27 years.

In all that time I never tired of this glorious vista or awesome splendour and majesty of God's handiwork.  

When Von Guerard saw it, it was open space and the ampitheatre must have been imposing. Today, bobbing my head around thickets of bush and scrub, it was difficult to reassemble-areas were blocked out in a jigsaw of parts and pieces, some hidden from view.
