As a painter and photographer Michael Wolfe draws inspiration from the landscape around his home in Castlemaine, Victoria. He has exhibited widely in Australia and internationally and his work is included in public, corporate and private collections.

“The Nuggetty Ranges run North West near the historic township of Maldon. I’ve sought to capture the way the hills rise out of the plains and create a distant geometric perspective of trees running along creek beds and gullies.”
