Lighthouse Arts Newcastle

Written By Jacque Cook

I got an artist residency at Lighthouse Arts Newcastle for the month of November 2023. It involved being able to attend and use one of the studios at Nobbys Head lighthouse for a four week block to work on some small, desk-based paintings.

As soon as I found out I had the residency, I visited the lighthouse one weekend, the only time it is otherwise open the public. I knew straight away what I wanted to paint. The desolation of the place, the light, it speaks to you. I knew the title almost immediately as “ Capturing Light ; the view from here “.

I have since applied for a second residency in 2024 to finish the works.
