Liam Waldie is an emerging Artist based on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria.  His works primarily deals with the landscape often depicting where the ocean meets the land, or winding roads toward endless horizons.  He creates contemporary Australian landscapes, rich in layered colour and detail drawn from personal experiences in an attempt to connect the viewer to the landscape and take away the importance the environment has on us.

​

‘A Way of Seeing’, 2022, is a collection of paintings that are a record of Waldie’s travelled experience in Tasmania. An idea to record how an artist might research, document and create a series of paintings, Waldie teamed up with Baden Croft (Painter) and Cam Myers (Film) to create an exhibition and art documentary that explores the striking natural beauty of Australia’s most southern state and traverses themes of environmental vulnerability and the appreciation of a given moment in a time and place.

​

In 2021, his body of work ‘echoes.’ explores experiencing a place for the first time, the reverberation of place that stays with you long after you leave it. Seeking a kind of belonging through the act of painting, and capturing those moments in time, shared or alone, where time stops for a moment.

​

‘Remembered Landscapes’ 2020 presented the Australian landscape through a contemporary interpretation of impressionism and surrealism, recalling personal memories of time and place and selecting recognisable landforms in dreamlike mindscapes.  Windows appear hidden in arbitrary places within his landscapes providing an escape from where we are or where we are going.

Waldie works from his studio at Onshore Studios, Rosebud, a space that he has created alongside his colleague and friend Baden Croft. He has paintings available at Manyung Galleries, Victoria, and Paper Pear Gallery, NSW.  He has exhibited in group shows, commissioned artwork and is in private collections across Australia and overseas.  He lives in Mount Martha with his partner Jaime, their children Tex Jones, Indie Mae, and Australian Bulldog, Earl.
