Brooke van Ruiswyk, an emerging force in the art world based in Launceston, Tasmania, has garnered recognition for her profound exploration of the Tasmanian landscape, rooted in her family’s farming heritage spanning generations. Her delicate yet powerful paintings, often crafted meticulously with oil on canvas, beckon viewers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of textures and hues that define her evocative works.
“Many of my paintings are from my memories of the North-West coast and capture the mood of a wintry day”.
Brooke has been a selected finalist in numerous prestigious art prizes since 2008, including The Glover Prize in 2023 and 2024. She was announced winner of The Henry Jones Art Prize People’s Choice Award in 2024 and The Zonta International Award for Young Emerging Artist in 2010.
