Artwork Description

I love playing with colours, fauve or realistic tones to see how they bounce or blend.
Mother and child is a universal theme in art. This fauve expression of mother and baby shows the babe breastfeeding, a most natural sign of abundance and nurture. While some parts of the painting are fairly realistic, other parts are suggested almost abstract.
This mother is connected to her baby and to all the abundance and life in nature. Bright happy colours as a celebration of life.

Artist Bio
Photo of Anna Casey
Anna Casey 45 artworks | 9 Sold

My parents met at Art School in Brisbane, so much of my background in art is genetic rather than taught.
Like many who love art, I worked in another career, as a librarian, and had art as a hobby.
I spent many years doing intuitive quirky drawings in pen and ink.
I prefer to be intuitive and experiment when painting from my imagination. I love watching the interaction of colours, so that the painting forms an impression of a subject rather than strict realism.

Painting became a serious interest in 2003 when I joined the Central Queensland Contemporary Artists in Rockhampton, and began to participate in their workshops and twice yearly exhibitions. I now work in colour, mostly in acrylic paint. I also create digital art, using a drawing stylus to paint in Photoshop.

Since 2015 I have enjoyed being a member of Maleny Arts and Crafts groups, and love trying out new subjects and techniques.
I have exhibited and sold work in twice yearly group exhibitions both here and in Rockhampton.
