Thorungulla Studio is set in the Nandewar Range Looking over Mt Lindsay and Mt Kaputar.

Set in over 200ha of hills and valleys scattered with gum, iron bark and box trees. Wallabies, kangaroo, goats and deer roam the hills.

Karin is a muralist who has created a series of murals to enhance the surrounds. Drought arrived when we did and a constantly blooming rose garden that needs no water has appeal.

Karin works in acrylics depicting the beauty of the Australian bush that surrounds her. Sand paintings, pottery, terracotta sculptures, and poetry are also on the menu. The designing and creating of string theory stories is a labour of love.

Karin worked with a team in Lightning Ridge to create the aboriginal dreaming stories that were displayed at the MCA in 2015. Community murals where Karrin is the designer and the community are the artists. Participants learn colour techniques, perspective, and working as a team.

Plein Air art classes can be arranged by appointment.

Karin’s work is on display at the Claypan/Fuller Gallery in Barraba and the Gallery on Gwydir in Bingara.
