Art At Lake House

The beauty of the Daylesford region attracts many creative types - painters, glass-blowers, sculptors, actors and musicians and the lodge often has a few hand-selected artisan-produced works for acquisition. Based on Allan and Alla’s keen love for art, Lake House features the works of several prominent artists and designers and original artworks by late co-owner and painter Allan Wolf-Tasker adorn the walls.

Wander the gardens at Lake House and you’ll discover bronze sculptures by Lawrence Winder and wood sculptures by local Miriam Porter. Lawrence trained in dance, art and education and has participated in over twenty shows at various galleries. His figurative sculptures displayed at Lake House are suitable for both the garden and inside spaces and vary from 1/6 to life size. Miriam draws inspiration from Lake House’s local personalities – cockatoos, magpies and possums for her sculptures in wood. Her studio is a short stroll from the property and she welcomes visitors by appointment.

Anna Wili-Highfield’s sculpture ‘The Wolf’ is on display in The Waterfront Pavilion. Her sculptures are stitched together from archival cotton rag and explore the organic qualities and resistance of paper, generating a tension between the complex realism of form and the limitations and economy of the materials used. Her aim is to engineer a moment of contact with nature in a way that emphasises both the startling differences and similarities of human and animal forms and consciousness.

David Bromley’s artwork is displayed in the Salus Day Spa. His works, typically capturing childhood innocence lost and found, and more recently exploring the female form, can themselves be found in major private and corporate collections in Hong Kong, Japan, South Africa, USA, Europe, and Australia. He has twice been named recently by Australian Art Collector magazine as one of Australia’s 50 most collectible artists.

Don Wreford is one of Australia’s leading glass artists. Lake House displays a variety of his pieces in private rooms. He was most recently commissioned to produce a gift for the Danish community to present to Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary.
