Emigrating to Sydney from Europe in 1951, Judy Cassab quickly established a reputation as a portrait painter. However it was her experience of Central Australia in the late 1950s that made her first feel fully at home in this country. Cassab has returned to the centre many times and has also travelled to far north Queensland and far western NSW, recording her exultation in the forms and colours of the landscape.
