Artwork Description

'Together' is a self-portrait of me and my daughter Lana. I wanted to capture this moment of time in my life where my identity as an individual feels non-existent.
My whole life revolves around her.
Everything about me has changed since she was born.
My goals have changed.
My plans for the future have changed.
My taste buds have changed.
My body has changed.
My mental health has changed.
My relationship has changed.
The clothes I wear have changed.
The person I used to be feels alien.
When I think about who I am now, the first thing I think of is Lana. I really can't separate myself from her.
I am not Aimee. I am Aimee and Lana.
As my daughter grows, I will discover my identity again alongside her.
But for now, we are together.

Artist Bio

I am a visual artist currently living in the South West region of WA.I create figurative paintings that incorporate the abstract principals of materiality and expressionism. Exploring the experience of womanhood through an autobiographical lens, my work examines societal representations and symbolism that have become emblematic of femininity.

Inspired by fellow Australian artists such as Vali Meyers and Del Katherine Barton, I love to create large scale pieces full of dense imagery, often juxtaposing different patterns and colours against each other in order to create lush visual scenes full of vibrancy and detail. The woman in my painting's are always the main character, emoting a sense of strength and holding the viewers gaze.

I started my career completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Sculpture in 2016 at RMIT university, and have since exhibited at a range of galleries in both Melbourne and Perth, including my first solo exhibition at Forty Five Downstairs in Melbourne. In 2019 I co founded Old Coast Studio, a sculpture studio in WA focused on metal based work. I now focus on selling my work directly to buyers as well as working on commissioned projects.
