Audrey Briel 27 artworks | 0 Sold

I am a professional artist based in the beautiful Sydney Australia. I’m originally from South Africa but have been living in Australia for nearly 13 years and I have found it to be incredible. The people are so inviting and generous and I have just loved it from day dot. I am currently enrolled in the National Art School in Darlinghurst as an aged student as a very young sixty something and I’m enjoying it very much.

A few personal things to mention about my art…
I have always felt like an outsider, except when I am being creative and brave. In recent years I have been haunted by bouts of severe trauma and great internal suffering. After not having the capacity to get out of bed or do anything for years, I have fought hard to carve out a reconnection to my creative soul. This connection still feels tentative, so I continue to use art as a healing practice every day.
​
I work in mixed media - acrylics, inks, oxides, pencil, pen and markers. My style is bold, graphic, illustrative, notanized (black and white) and rich in symbols, patterns and icons. Colour and textures represent my pain and healing.
​
My work is inspired by a diversity of ideas, images, cultures and people.

I hope you are inspired by my soulwork, that it speaks to your heart and that you connect with the inspiration to my healing process.
