Mary Pinnock (b. 1951, Australia)

Mary Pinnock, an esteemed Archibald Prize finalist, has long been celebrated for her profound connection to the natural world, a connection that has only deepened in the face of global environmental challenges. Working from her studio in Paddington, Sydney, Mary's latest works are a testament to her evolving relationship with nature, particularly her fascination with the resilience of cacti. Her upcoming exhibition, "My Crazy Wild Garden," is an ode to these remarkable plants that thrive in the harshest conditions with minimal water—true survivors in the era of climate change.

In "My Crazy Wild Garden," Mary embraces the notion that the traditional, water-intensive green lawns of the past are giving way to more sustainable landscaping, such as rock gardens. She sees water as "Liquid Gold," a precious resource in our changing world. Her exhibition is set to showcase the unexpected beauty of desert flora, celebrating the life it supports and the lessons it offers in survival. Through her art, Mary invites viewers to explore the vibrant colors and whimsical shapes of cacti, offering a lighthearted yet poignant reflection on how climate change can be harnessed to enrich our environment.
