Tony Druery

Tony Druery developed a connection with the river, creeks, and coastlines of the Mackay region. Mackay is quickly evolving. The skyline and cityscapes are quite different to what they were five years ago. Many of Tony’s reduction linocuts depict iconic places such as buildings, the bridge, and the river bank. They capture a moment in time before inevitable progress.

There are always many viewpoints about the advantages and disadvantages of development. Do we create an attractive waterline or do leave a grubby but meaningful watermark? Ultimately, the artworks produced by Tony Druery are meant to help foster memories and record changes in Mackay’s history.
