In this episode we head to Port Douglas, QLD, Australia, to visit Tania Heben. During 1987 Tania moved to the Far North of Queensland which she feels was an experience which helped her "really see colour for the first time" and her use of brilliant colour is undeniably one of the most well known features of her work. Her works contrast vivid local scenes of people still influenced by the colonial settlement period of the 1800's with the lush tropical vegetation of the Australian Rainforest and Jungle. Tania's paintings have been described as "Gauuinesque" with the strong influence of both Matisse and Gauguin in her work.
