The Lookout

The painting's frame is natural Tasmanian Oak.

My work is layered, figurative and portrays an ambiguous space where interior and exterior reality merge.

I observe the physical and emotional space around individuals, fascinated that our minds shift seamlessly between various physical, virtual and emotional realities.
Intrigued by these blurred boundaries, I play on the border between dream and reality, strength and fragility, control and abandon.

She honed the skill of hanging art straight through numerous solo and group exhibitions across Australia, South Africa and abroad. Anna-Carien takes joy in the messy alchemy of oil paint, the dirty abandon of charcoal, and secretly filling sketchbooks with drawings of strangers
