Chasing Palmer

Ron McBurnie’s “Chasing Palmer” is an exhibition of etchings influenced by the great Romantic printmaker and painter Samuel Palmer. The black and white etchings imbue the North Queensland landscape with a numinous quality rich in artistic heritage. “Ron McBurnie is a distinguished Australian printmaker who is working out of Townsville. He is an artist for whom narrative, the sense of place and awareness of traditions all play a significant role in the process of making a print” Grishin, 2006. Canberra Times
