Chasing Rainbows (framed)

Whilst living in Glebe in Sydney in a bygone era, I came across a discarded cardboard box in the alleyway behind my flat. It was covered in all these drawings, presumably by a child. I used it for inspiration for this and several other drawings at the time. I took some of the motifs scrawled on the back and pushed them further with colour and added markings in pastel, ink and pen. This drawing comes mounted in pale grey archival card and framed in a birch coloured frame with glass. Please bear in mind, it is difficult to photograph through glass without capturing reflections.

Since studying visual art for the HSC in 1990 and being selected for the touring Artexpress exhibition, I have been making and exhibiting my art. I attended Meadowbank TAFE in Sydney in the mid 1990s where I was awarded a Diploma of Arts in Fine Arts. I have explored media such as textiles, photography, sculpture, printmaking and mosaics, but primarily paint in oils and draw in chalk pastels currently. My work is quite eclectic, with diverse subject matter and styles as I feel more challenged as an artist by changing styles from time to time and engaging with new ones. My most recent artistic obsession has been with abstracted landscapes, imagined, but based on my experiences of nature, especially in the Blue Mountains where I live.

NB. At times I have noticed terms such as “indigenous art” or “indigenous paintings” or similar, appear at the bottom of my individual artwork pages under “related tags”. I want to make it clear that I am not a First Nations artist, if anyone finds it misleading or confusing when viewing these tags. I was not responsible for including them, I think they may be AI generated. Just wanted to mention to avoid misleading anyone for whom purchasing an authentic indigenous artwork is important.
