Celebrated Tasmanian artists Darren Meader and Lynne Uptin OAM will be setting up their easels in full view of visitors to the Royal Society of Tasmania’s Hidden Treasures exhibition at Woolmers Estate, near Longford, on Sunday 18 January (Darren) and Sunday 1 February (Lynne).
It’s the opportunity to meet these skilled contemporary artists and to watch them at work against a backdrop of the masters of the 19th century. Hidden Treasures features rarely seen artworks from the Northern Midlands from 1820 to 1890, offering a unique glimpse into Tasmania’s rich cultural heritage.
It’s the perfect opportunity for art lovers, collectors and amateur painters of all ages to ask questions and discover more about Darren’s and Lynne’s very different creative techniques. Darren’s work offers a modern-day view of Tasmanian landscapes in oil and watercolour, while Lynne specialises in botanical art, as an award-winning artist with an international following.
These painting demonstrations are part of a series of weekend events taking place alongside the Hidden Treasures exhibition, which runs from 4 January to 22 February.
The other special event is on Sunday, 25 January, with talks on The Life and Works of Louisa Anne Meredith presented by Dr Anita Hansen, Dr Malcolm Ward, and Mary Koolhof OAM.
There is a $5 entry fee for the exhibition, events included. Pre-bookings are through https://www.trybooking.com/DHXOL but people can also pay on the day.
Visitors can take home a full-colour illustrated exhibition brochure for $10 and participate in a silent auction for high-quality digital reproductions of the artworks displayed. Merchandise is also available for sale.
About the Royal Society of Tasmania
Founded in 1843, the Royal Society of Tasmania is Australia’s oldest scientific society, dedicated to advancing knowledge and promoting public understanding of science, history, and the arts.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania.

We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
