Erika Cholich + Victoria Peel: Duet 2023
Duet 2023 is a celebration of new paintings by Erika Cholich and Victoria Peel. Two artists who approach the painting of their surroundings, in entirely different ways. From the intimacy and joy in memories triggered amongst simple, yet complex, still life interiors, to the secret landscapes of the Hawkesbury River’s hidden valleys, seen at their worst, and yet, sublime in their magnificence.
Featured work – Erika Cholich
I always anticipate their arrival each Spring.
“The agapanthuses bloomed when I moved to Australia and stood out in their adopted surroundings. I recently went abroad, and upon my return, they again greeted me, their glory delayed by the rains. I knew them as a child in my father’s garden, now far away. I always anticipate their arrival each Spring.” ~ Erika Cholich, September 2023.

Fires, Floods and the Forgotten Valley.
“The rhythm of light and colour have always been a source of inspiration for my paintings. However, the subject matter of my work, continues to be dictated by my life at the time. I have lived and painted on and off in the Macdonald Valley, Hawkesbury area for over 20 years and moved here full time 5 years ago. During this time, the land and it’s wonderful, resilient community have been ravaged by drought, fire, and floods.
The paintings of fire and floods portray the conflicting bittersweet feelings I have towards the power of nature – the sheer terror of its impact and the wonder of its beauty.hesive form.” ~ Victoria Peel, September 2023.
