A frequent visitor of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Anne Graham utilises the triptych format normally reserved for traditional European religious paintings, such as Hieronymus Bosch's enigmatic The Garden of Earthly Delights, to illustrate one of her most revisited subject matter.
Anne's contemporary play on Melbourne everyday life, depicts locals at leisure in the iconic grounds with affection and sometimes irony, framed by an oasis of lush flora.
