Rachel Dun's exhibition Fragile Mappings is on display at the Northern Rivers Community Gallery.

Rachel Dun is a printmaker and educator who has lived in Northern NSW for more than 30 years. Her practice is deeply connected to the natural environment and shaped by walking, close observation and a strong sense of place.
Working across metal plate etching, woodblock, linocut, monoprint and experimental printmaking processes, Rachel explores the fragility of the natural world and the impact of human presence. Her prints and artist books capture moments of quiet observation, memory and connection to place.

Rachel's work is held in the State Library of New South Wales collection, and she exhibits throughout Australia.
