Our former Ink Gin Resident Artist, Brian Connolly, has just moved in... Again! In 2022, Brian made history by winning the first-ever Ink Art competition. His winning artwork, “Some Place Else”, was part of his remarkable Face Towards the Sun collection. Now, Brian is back with a brand-new exhibition that is gracing the walls of the Ink Gallery at Husk Farm Distillery -The Heart of the Garden. A Glimpse Into 'The Heart of the Garden' Brian Connolly’s latest solo exhibition, The Heart of the Garden, offers an exploration of the profound connection we share with nature. The exhibition is an invitation to step into a world of peace, stillness, and reflection - qualities that nature offers in abundance. Inspired by the serene beauty of Bundjalung Country, also known as Byron Bay, where Brian resides in the tranquil hinterlands, this collection captures the lush landscapes and the calming beauty that surround him. Nature as a Muse: Inspiration from Byron Bay’s Hinterlands The exhibition draws its inspiration from the natural wonders of Byron Bay, where the forest meets the sea. In this paradise, Brian finds himself surrounded by an endless source of wonder, peace, and serenity. His artwork reflects the contemplative moments he experiences in nature - moments of reflection and quiet meditation that often go unnoticed in our fast-paced lives. Each piece in The Heart of the Garden embodies the stillness and beauty of nature, inviting the viewer to pause and reconnect with their inner peace. The muses in the artwork, deeply immersed in nature’s embrace, evoke a sense of awe and reverence for the land. They remind us of the importance of slowing down, taking a breath, and appreciating the quiet moments that nature has to offer. Now on display at the Ink Gallery, The Heart of the Garden exhibition will be running until the end of April. Come and immerse yourself in Brian’s latest works - no booking required. While you're here, why not book a table to enjoy our warm hospitality and soak in the stunning views of the Tweed Valley? Don't miss the opportunity to witness this stunning collection up close. You can also view The Heart of the Garden online here. 

This itinerary combines great food, delicious cocktails, and a dash of starlit magic - because you deserve to show off a little.

To mark the launch of this year’s Ink Art Competition, our incredible 2022 winner Brian Connolly is hosting a pop-up solo exhibition at Husk Farm Distillery from now until the end of August.

Words by Ink Gin Co-Founder Harriet  A couple of weeks ago, our social media coordinator and I flew to Sydney to meet this year’s Ink Artist, Karina Jambrak. The trip almost didn’t happen, thanks to a series of minor disasters—including last-minute venue and flight cancellations, and subsequent hire car drama. (Let’s not mention how we almost missed our second flight because we got too caught up enjoying an Ink G&T in the airport bar... the stress is still a little too real!) When we finally arrived at the little studio in Potts Point, it was an absolute blast. Karina is such a joy to be around! We had heaps of fun shooting photos and videos of her painting and shaking up martinis. Let me tell you—she is an absolute martini pro! The standout moment? When Karina unfurled her breathtaking original artwork, Black Cockatoos in Sydney Harbour. It is a showstopper. We can’t wait to display the original in the Ink Gin gallery at the distillery. Before we wrapped up the day, Karina shared a story about how she used to sell her paintings at Bondi markets while dreaming of one day sharing her art with the world. Seeing her artwork now on bottles of Ink Gin, reaching gin and art lovers far and wide, felt like a full-circle moment. It’s these little connections—between creativity, craft, and community—that make every bottle of Ink Art Gin so special. 2000 bottles of Ink Art Gin x Karina Jambrak are now available online and at selected bottle shops.

Karina’s artistry perfectly embodies the spirit of Ink Gin — vibrant, imaginative, and uniquely Australian. We are honoured to bring her artwork to life on this special release, which is sure to be a coveted collector’s item!

We are thrilled to announce the latest exhibition gracing the walls of the Husk Farm Distillery gallery: "Organic Forms in Nature" by this year’s Ink Gin artist, Natalie Yates. Stepping into this showcase, visitors will see the beauty of the natural world captured through Natalie’s unique artistic lens.

Rosellas' bartender, Romony, sits down with Ink’s general manager, Harriet, to discuss all things bartending, industry trends, and the slowly changing landscape in this traditionally male-dominated field.

We’re so excited to be supporting Vol 4 of Good Art Show which we’re hosting at Husk Distillery.

We're thrilled to announce the arrival of our 2023 special bottling of Ink Art Gin, and it's a stunner.
