Donut Inn Adelaide

Shortlisted as a finalist in the 2023 contemporary art prize Gallery M, is my colour and line depiction of the Donut Inn, located at the Central Adelaide Railway Station.
The retro building is recognised by many who frequent their way to work, festivals or sports.
Lines depict the varying shades of colour casting hues of beige and brown with a flash of red, white and blue, igniting the scene that refuses to be forgotten. My work speaks a story, that even with the new, the old finds a place and reminds us that every line, every shade carries the pulse of its time.......donuts included!
Ideal for the office workspace or corporation in downtown Adelaide. Thankyou for looking x
PS: the walls of the train station have been painted recently and unfortunately, the signage have disappeared from The Donut Inn. What you're seeing now is vastly different to what I saw four years ago.

Hello everyone!
I have travelled far and wide with my husband's work for 20 odd years to numerous states around Australia and twice to the USA. I suppose you can call me a defence spouse, Army style!
It was during a posting to the US where I became the 'accidental artist', painting local scenes around Leavenworth County, Kansas and selling my art through word of mouth! This crazy journey has inspired me to continue my love for painting scenes throughout Australia
I feel my artwork is, by virtue, the colours I see and the lines that define them. My art is bright, bold, joyful, unique depictions of life around me through numerous journeys I've encountered in a nature loving form. I draw inspiration from female artists in Maude Lewis, Georgia O'Keefe and Heather Brown who created their own distinct styles and a belief in themselves
For me and my art style, I seek collectors who dare to venture into bright pop/ naive/ contemporary art.
I focus mainly on acrylics and black markers using small to medium size canvas or acrylic paper. Certain picture frames are repurposed and matted with love to reduce the landfill we humans love to create.
I want my artwork to be different, a little obscure, very animated, yet recognisable to admire.
I hope to bring a visual flair to those who adore creative, quirky pieces that express pure joy and an illustrative love of life around us. Your blank wall or tiny computer nook may need a dose of gladness to brighten your

Thankyou so much for reading xx
PS:- Some of my artworks have been removed for the upcoming SALA Arts Festival next month in South Australia. Catch me around if you can!
