Following on from his show-stopping Walk with me exhibition, Sail with Me continues this 40-years-plus painter’s love affair with the region and its power to seduce, surprise and serenade him into creating work that is brimming with energetic understanding.
Celebrating Stewart’s endless connection to the region, Sail with Me takes the viewer on the adventure of a lifetime from Flinders to Sorrento; from the Blowhole to Millionaire’s Walk to Point King Beach - and many hidden gems in between.
“I paint to get to know the landscape and explore my internal relationships with it. My art reaffirms my sense of belonging through connecting with nature. I’ve always painted the Mornington Peninsula hinterland, and knew the tip of the peninsula as a person but not as an artist."
-Stewart Westle
