Living is a collection of intimate, observation-based artworks by Mary-Rose Riley.

Created in the town of Stanley, these pieces explore the quiet beauty and emotional complexity of life in a new place.

In her work, Mary-Rose captures Stanley's beauty and seasonal drama - the towering trees, birdsong and shifting colours, but also the challenges of isolation, winter darkness and the enduring quiet.

Now, after thirteen years away, Mary-Rose returns to Wodonga with these works, a map of her life up the hill.

Mary-Rose Riley is a visual artist based in Northeast Victoria whose practice spans four decades. Before relocating to Stanley in 2013, Mary-Rose spent twenty years in Wodonga, immersed in a vibrant arts community and family life.
