We thank Vera Moller, the late Philip Hunter’s widow and fellow artist, for giving Maldon Artist Network and EDGE Galleries permission to publish images of Philip Hunter’s work to articulate the “Essence of Place.”

“Philip Hunter was an original, unlike any other painter, in the way his draughtsmanship was in constant service to a symbolic and evocative vision of the country” (Peter Graven, Sydney Morning Herald, May 15 2017).

As well as being a dedicated landscape painter Philip Hunter was an academic.  Having graduated at Prahran College he later completed post graduate studies at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA). Philip first taught at Prahran and then became a legendary teacher in painting at the VCA.
