ROSBY CELLAR DOOR & GALLERY
122 Strikes Lane, Eurunderee, Mudgee
Jayne Blake’s mixed media works bring together bold colours, layered textures, shapes, and patterns to create vibrant, cohesive compositions. Each element within her pieces tells its own story, contributing to a larger narrative of playful, visual balance. In contrast, Michael Baird’s sculptural reliefs and freestanding works transform the rigidity of metal into forms that feel light, whimsical, and free—often appearing to drift across the wall or dance in space.
Together, Blake and Baird present a striking conversation between materials and methods, celebrating contrast, transformation, and the unexpected beauty found in the meeting of opposites.
ABOUT ROSBY WINES & GALLERY
Since establishing the vineyard in 1992 the Rosby name has grown to be somewhat of a cultural emblem of New South Wales’ central west through a commitment to wine, sculpture and now art.
The annual Sculptures in the Garden Exhibition, now in its 12th year, curated by founder Kay Norton-Knight, has drawn works by artists from across the Nation and with guests including the late Edmund
Capon. Annually, it sees acquisitions for the Mudgee sculpture walk and the Mid-Western Region Council public art collection.
Additionally, over the past decade Rosby have continued to run a series of Art Workshops and recently, through assistance from Destination NSW, have added a permanent cellar door and gallery to their
premises. Designed by local architecture practice, Cameron Anderson Architects, the rammed earth building extends the suite of timber and mud brick buildings located on the property while facilitating the next chapter in the Rosby story.
Now with the capacity for a year-round calendar of exhibitions, indoors and out, Rosby are giving back to the artists and arts-community that have supported them through their history while encouraging
cultural tourism to the Mid-Western Region.
