Here at Pike and Joyce we are lucky to be surrounded by some of the most fantastic views in the Adelaide Hills. To complement this view, we invite some of Adelaide's best artists to display their work.
Currently we have the acclaimed local artist Jane Smeets displaying her latest collection of paintings, inspired by the Fleurieu Peninsula throughout the restaurant and foyer, creating contrast between our rolling hill views and the ocean paintings.
A message from Jane:
"As an artist returning for my eighth year, I'm thrilled to share my latest collection of paintings, inspired by the diverse landscapes of the Fleurieu Peninsula. This region, with its sweeping coastlines and rich, rolling hills, continues to fuel my creative journey. My work captures the atmospheric essence of this unique part of South Australia, blending textured layers and rich hues to evoke both the tranquility of the sea and beauty of the inland. Each piece invites the viewer to experience the Peninsula's shifting light, moody skies, and the tactile connection between land and water.
Exhibiting in such a stunning restaurant and cellar door setting allows my work to resonate with the natural beauty that surrounds us here.
The vibrant yet earthy tones mirror the flavours and spirit of the region, creating a sensory dialogue between the artwork, the space, and the experience of those who visit. This year's collection is a reflection of my evolving relationship with the Fleurieu Peninsula, capturing not just its physical beauty but the emotional pull it holds—a place where the landscape feels both timeless and ever-changing."
