Before Australia's East Coast burnished its reputation as a haven of sun, sand and sea, it was the temperate climate of Tasmania, the country's largest island, that lured visitors from across the British Empire.
Tasmania is a patchwork of pastures and wilderness surrounded by rugged coastlines and windswept bays, with about 50 percent of the island protected from development and nearly a quarter being World Heritage listed.
The island has a rich history capturing the imagination of artists, with notable figures like William Charles Piguenit, Ewa Pachucka, and Tom Samek creating significant works in Tasmania.
In recent times, Tasmania has attracted a new wave of creative professionals, with places like Queenstown becoming unexpected hubs for artists, showcasing the island's appeal to the artistic community.
