Artwork Description

"Disruption" emerges as a captivating and thought-provoking abstract masterpiece in the hands of its creator. As the second instalment in the artist's abstract series titled "Individual," this unique painting on a sturdy board intricately explores the profound impact of major life events on individual identity. The artwork invites viewers to delve into the chaotic yet beautiful tapestry of colours, textures, and metallic accents, symbolising the ripples created by significant life events.

With a rich and harmonious palette, including blues, greens, oranges, yellow, gold, bronze, and copper, the painting weaves a visual narrative mirroring the complexity of human experiences. Blues and greens merge to signify stability, while warm oranges and yellows embody vibrancy and passion. Meticulously applied metallic and glitter highlights add a bewitching dance of light, resembling sun-kissed water, while copper contributes an earthy warmth.

"Disruption" compels observers to peer beyond the surface and contemplate the depths of their own life journey. It prompts reflection on the intricate patterns formed by the ripples of time, experience, and change. The artwork's textured layers symbolise the multifaceted aspects of identity shaped by pivotal moments and milestones.

As a visual meditation on the ever-evolving nature of self and the profound impact of life's significant events, "Disruption" stands as a powerful addition to any art collection. Whether displayed in private homes or public spaces, this painting serves as a constant source of reflection and inspiration, sparking conversations and introspection. It acts as a poignant reminder that within life's disruptions, there exists a unique and beautiful order waiting to be discovered.

Artist Bio

I am intrigued by the beauty in all things – I strive to notice it wherever possible – I want to capture moments and seal them in time for all to enjoy.
 
I love how colour and light dances on ordinary objects, making the everyday - extraordinary.
 
I am student of art and I hope to be for the rest of my life but I went through a decade-long period without creating.  I tried my hand at a few things, but it wasn’t until the birth of my children and the Pandemic that my passion for painting was rekindled. I’ve promised to never stop creating again – prioritising art in my life, time in my studio, and adventures that inspires.

Landscapes – natural and man-made, are my passion. I’m fascinated with architecture, evolving skylines and natural country. The juxtaposition of orthogonal vs. fractal – challenges me to grow and advance.
 
Palette knives give me freedom from perfection. My heavily textured pieces are achieved by adding gel-medium to my acrylic paints creating thick and rich effects and giving life to my paintings.

I explore themes of creation and destruction, man vs nature. This idea is emerging in my piece “Progress” where I muted the background structures - Questioning if the building of a new and beautiful bridge to a casino is a symbol of Brisbane’s progress or just an example of more corporate greed?

Our society seems to be obsessed with the idea that things have to be shifting for there to be improvement. I want my work to represent the contrasting Australia: from the beauty and serenity of the Australian bush; to the ever-expanding and changing Australian urban vistas; from my home in Brisbane to others which I maybe lucky enough to explore.
