Autumn Artists In Residence: Tessa Hoser & Jan Pooley-Hibberd

Centennial Vineyards Cellar Door is proud to host an evocative dual exhibition from Southern Highlands artistsTessa HoserandJan Pooley-Hibberd, presented by The Pop-Up Project. Running throughout April and May, the showcase brings together two unique perspectives on nature, place and artistic expression.

Tessa Hoser – Ceramics Inspired by Country

Award-winning ceramicist Tessa Hoser presentsBanksia Bullets, a striking collection of wheel-thrown and handbuilt ceramics inspired by walks on Gundungurra and Tharawal Country. Tessa explores contrast through earthy tones, sculptural form and textured surfaces, reflecting the resilience of native flora against the backdrop of colonial landscapes. Her work is held in private collections across Australia, the UK and the US.

Jan Pooley-Hibberd – Light, Sky and Landscape

Jan Pooley-Hibberd brings a dynamic body of work that captures the movement and intensity of the Southern Highlands landscape. Her luminous watercolours and bold abstract ink pieces are inspired by dramatic skies, changing light and the sweeping views of the region she has called home for more than two decades. Delicate washes, rich pigments and touches of gold give each piece a grounded yet ethereal quality.

Art and Wine in Harmony

This thoughtfully curated exhibition invites guests to experience a dialogue between clay and canvas, texture and tone, stillness and motion - all within the beautiful surrounds of Centennial Vineyards.

Visiting Details

The exhibition is open daily from 10am to 5pm at Centennial Vineyards Cellar Door. The final wine tastings commence at 4pm.

Relax among the vines with a glass of award-winning wine and take in the captivating work of two talented local artists on display.
