Nature is the inspiration behind many of my designs, in particular flora has always captured my eye, as I explore new mediums to highlight the finer details. I mostly work with Impasto and Chromacryl on canvas board however, my illustrations are primarily used for motifs, that I also create for textile prints.
The majority of my paintings were sold at fundraising events for various art shows in the ACT region, with a few that I have given to family and friends over the years. I currently obtain the original paintings for the art prints I have listed on Bluethumb and the art prints are only listed with limited quantities available.
Art is in my blood. It has always been an outlet for finding quiet time for the mind, a peaceful moment and a process for reflecting on moments in life. I enjoy creating for others and showcasing my designs on Instagram, where I find my followers enjoy watching the process in the making. Perhaps it is their way to unwind and find a peaceful moment too.
In my early years as an expecting Mum, I decided to branch out my journey of sharing my art at local art shows. This gave me the time to unwind after a busy day and it was a great way to be involved with my community.
I am a qualified Graphic Artist/Desktop Publisher by trade and mostly self-taught in the arts. I studied arts in school and have attended a number of workshops over the years varying from lino and etching (print making), mandala classes, ceramics (Duncan certified), pottery and Raku firing. I enjoy exploring techniques and working with mixed media, which I continue to explore, as I seek to find new methods for my textured art. I follow the best practice in preparing my artwork and I am not afraid to explore the unknown by testing different mediums to see how they bond together. This process brings a textural feel to my art and enables my limited prints to capture the detail from my original paintings.
Please continue to watch this space, as I work towards releasing a number of art prints from my original paintings created for interiors. If you would like to view some of my work in the making, please visit my Instagram account at: https://www.instagram.com/c.w_finbok_publishing/

My Instagram page also has a number of fabric prints showcased, all which I sell with Australian fabric printers. It is my personal mission to combine my artwork - prints and fabric prints to help others achieve a seamless colourway and style for interiors.
