Ted Lewis has been painting full-time for over 30 years, holding his first one man exhibition at the Hesley Gallery in Orange, NSW, in 1976 at the age of 18.
Since then he has had many successful exhibitions in Orange, Bathurst, Sydney, Peak Hill, South Port (Queensland), Canberra and Canowindra.
Ted has a great love of the Australian bush and takes his paints with him wherever he goes. He tries to capture the light and vibrancy of the
ever-changing landscapes – landscapes that range from the colourful beaches to the brilliant reds and blues of Central Australia – the subjects are endless and the challenges many.
“I am most recently inspired by the beautiful country around Ophir where I live, Tree lined dirt lanes and roads, creeks with river oaks, waterfalls, blue hills and
rugged natural beauty that inspires me every day. Gum trees and saplings with wild flowers scattered among them make wonderful subjects.
By living in, absorbing and being a part of my natural surroundings every day, I feel I am able to convey my feelings of peace, beauty and my love of nature and Australian bush into my paintings”.
