Southern Highlands branch: One-day coach tour to Bundanon
27 March
This will be an amazing tour of two independent properties with guides at each location and lunch is included!
Arthur and Yvonne Boyd were instantly enchanted by the Bundanon Homestead and landscape. In 1979 the Boyds purchased the Homestead, building Arthur’s studio a short distance from the Homestead.
An art museum embedded in the landscape
Arthur and Yvonne Boyd’s gift of Bundanon has given Australia a unique cultural and environmental asset. It was born out of Boyd’s wish that others might also draw inspiration from this remarkable place.
Across many generations the Boyds include painters, sculptors, architects and other arts professionals, commencing with Arthur Boyd’s grandparents Arthur Merric Boyd and Emma Minnie Boyd, both accomplished artists, working in oils and watercolours, exhibiting their work in Australia and the UK.
Their children were Merric, a potter, Penleigh, a landscape artist, Martin, a writer, and Helen, a painter. Merric and his wife, Doris, raised noted Australian artists – ceramicist Lucy, painters Arthur and David, sculptor Guy, and painter Mary.
Subsequent generations of the Boyd family continue to be active in the arts today.
