About artist Rena Czaplinska-Archer
After a lifetime of designing and building houses on Lower North Shore and teaching architecture at Sydney University and years of running Time for Drawing workshops in Australia and internationally, Rena ventured into the Australian desert, where in 2016, Idris Murphy introduced her to Fowlers Gap near Broken Hill. Forever grateful she has been returning there every year to run Desert Calling Art Camps, sharing with others her growing love of this country. Spending time alone or with a few painting friends she likes walking and exploring the quartz ridges and painting in the dry river beds where changing colours, moving shadows and the sound of birdsong and wind grow into vibrating with life symphony, healing the senses and nourishing the heart.
