Geraldine Richards - Plum Ridge
Acrylic on canvas, 41 x 41 x 2.5cm, 2025
Geraldine is a Melbourne/Naarm-based painter living and working on Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Country. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from RMIT University. In 2024, she was shortlisted for the National Emerging Art Prize (NEAP) and selected to exhibit in the Forty-Five Downstairs Gallery Emerging Art Awards. That same year, her work was also featured in the Biennale of Colour and Light at West End Art Space, Melbourne.
In March 2025 she had a solo exhibition Proximity to Home at Michael Reid Northern Beaches NSW. In March and April 2024, Geraldine presented work in a Pop-Up Gallery in East Malvern. Other recent exhibitions include her 2023 solo show, Landscape: A Woman’s Perspective, at Art at St Francis in Melbourne. In 2022, she participated in Studio 11 at Owen Dixon Chambers,and Not Nothing / It’s Something, the RMIT MFA Graduate Exhibition at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.
Her work depicts fictional landscapes in a flat, graphic style with a nuanced colour palette, exploring diverse perspectives and the deep connection between the human psyche and the land we live on. Drawing from concepts in the unconscious mind, body memory, and her lived experiences, her creative process is one of introspection and transformation.
Believing that lasting change starts from within, Geraldine’s practice navigates acceptance, self-improvement, and the behaviours we model through care-filled relationships. Proximity, her work in Counter Encounter, examines personal experiences of taking up space, closeness to others and themes around the human need for connection.
