Keith Cowlam

Keith Cowlam is a well known Adelaide-based painter, recently returned to Australia after having spent twelve years in the United Kingdom.  Cowlam's work focuses on landscapes across Australia, from the Coorong, South Australia, to the Olgas of the Northern Territory; from the northern beaches of New South Wales to Western Australia's Cottesloe. Inspired by a recent tour of Europe, Keith’s work includes paintings of European landscape and architecture of southern France and central Italy.
