SMH: Lucy Culliton the celebrated artist who paints to feed her animals

by

By Caroline Baum

Check out the Spectrum Cover Article (Sat 31 Aug) featuring NAS Alumna Lucy Culliton.

“You’re not afraid of dogs are you?” Lucy Culliton asks solicitously on the phone.

Anyone who is might feel a bit nervous at the welcome at Bibbenluke Lodge, Culliton’s property in the Monaro, the remote high plateau of New South Wales between the coast and the Snowy Mountains. On arrival, a pack including five greyhounds and two sheepdogs surrounds the car, making it impossible to move forward.
