Acclaimed artist Brian Hatch now calls the Central Coast home after relocating from Queensland to be closer to family.
Hatch, an imaginative painter and printmaker, began his career as a graphic artist and discovered painting during a trip to Europe.
He returned to Australia where he studied painting in Brisbane and later New York.
Over the years he has been awarded many art grants and held exhibitions in both Queensland and Sydney.
He is represented in the Queensland Art Gallery and various regional galleries in Queensland and has limited edition prints in the National Gallery in Canberra.
Hatch made the move to Hamlyn Terrace 12 months ago to be closer to his daughter and grandchild.
“My daughter lives here and we decided we needed to catch up more with her and our grandchild, which is great,” he said.
On September 16, an exhibition featuring Land and Sea Scapes will open at the Red Tree Theatre at Tuggerah.
Open from 10 am to noon daily, the exhibition will continue until October 1.
