The exhibition is on display at Redrock Books and Gallery in Horsham until mid-April.
Ms Bever said her exhibition features pieces in oil pastel and india ink, pastel, watercolour and acrylic.
She said her favourite landscapes to recreate were in the Wartook area.
‘‘I really like the way the trees are very bent and tangled, and the age of them,’’ she said.
‘‘I like the colours and textures of the forest.’’
Ms Bever captured the area before fire tore through in 2014.
‘‘I did a lot of the works on site in the Grampians from 2010 to 2012,’’ she said.
‘‘It’s all been burnt since.’’
Ms Bever said her art fell in line with her other passions.
‘‘Part of the reason I do landscape is I like being out in the bush,’’ she said.
‘‘A lot of my landscapes don’t have people in them or any man-made objects.’’
Ms Bever said she hoped people enjoyed her depictions of the area.
‘‘I just like to share the wonder and the beauty of Australian natural landscape,’’ she said.
Ms Beaver will officially launch her work on Friday night at the gallery from 6pm to 8pm.
Gallery owner Marian Anderson said everyone was welcome to the free event and nibbles were provided.
