Loviz Arts Gallery

Loviz Arts Gallery presents the work of Hunter Valley artist Tanya Loviz, whose practice turns painting, texture and reclaimed materials into colourful, highly tactile artworks. The gallery’s guiding ideas are to think playfully, act differently and live more thoughtfully with the Earth, giving the collection a clear focus on creativity, reuse and the beauty of overlooked materials. It is a distinctive stop for visitors in Pokolbin, Newcastle who want to see art with a strong personal point of view rather than a conventional, purely decorative collection.

The gallery’s signature direction is Waste to Wonder, a developing body of work that explores how discarded materials can be transformed into art. Tanya is also building an eco-pond as part of an ongoing experiment connecting home, habitat, art and nature. Her artworks often feature richly layered, mixed-media surfaces and earthy themes, with reclaimed and repurposed elements forming part of the visual language. Alongside original works, the collection includes curated paper print editions, canvas prints and smaller art pieces intended for everyday spaces. Tanya’s painted kiss, added as a final gesture before each artwork leaves her studio, is a personal signature across her work.

Loviz Arts is represented at Rydges Resort & Hunter Valley through several related viewing options. The resort foyer hosts an ongoing Earthful exhibition of textural mixed-media works, while Loviz Arts Galleria presents print editions and accessible art pieces. The site also describes a Loviz Arts Trail, linking partner venues around the Hunter Valley where visitors may find artworks, prints, gifts and Loviz-labelled cider. For anyone who prefers to browse in person, these locations offer different ways to encounter the work beyond the main gallery setting. Visitors should check the venue’s current access details before making a special trip, as the galleria has stated visiting periods and access may be assisted through the resort’s gift shop or concierge.

The gallery suits solo art lovers, couples looking for a considered stop between Hunter Valley visits, and small groups interested in contemporary Australian art with an environmental thread. Tanya’s more than 30 years of experience, over 1,800 artworks and 50-plus solo exhibitions provide the background to a practice that remains playful and evolving. A free art consultation is also available, including mock-ups to help visitors judge how a work might sit in their own space. That makes Loviz Arts relevant not only for browsing, but for people considering an original or canvas work and wanting guidance before committing.
