Artwork Description

I have reduced the price of this painting by over 50% as its an older work and I need to make room for new work.

A bold geometrical painting in tones of beautiful deep blues and gold. This painting will make a strong statement in a foyer, hallway, living area or office setting. It is one of a few paintings I still have left from an older series. This was one of my favourites from that series (actually my very favourite), but now it is time for these last few to go to a new home.

As this is on wood and not canvas it is quite a bit heavier than a standard stretched canvas so needs a concrete/brick/masonry wall or a stud to hang.

The theme of the painting (as was the whole series) is the cup, recepticle, chalice; a sacred and mystical symbol of The Divine Feminine.

The artwork is painted on wood with a frame which is painted deep blue, so ready to hang as it is

Artist Bio

As soon as I could hold a pencil I was drawing, and throughout both primary and high school I excelled in Art so it was an obvious choice once leaving school to go to Art School. I spent the following six years full time studying Visual Arts, first at TAFE (including the National Art School) and then at COFA (College of Fine Arts), UNSW. After graduating from COFA in the mid-1980s, I moved to The Blue Mountains with my artist partner and we opened the Water and Earth Gallery in the Renaissance Centre in Katoomba, where we sold our own work and a few select local artists.

Over the following decades, I followed various creative vocations including designing and illustrating five children’s educational activity books, working as a full-time painter, teaching school, teaching art, performing and teaching Oriental Dance for ten years, and in more recent years, going back to study a Masters of Psychotherapy.

After a fifteen year break from full-time painting, I have come full circle, back to my first talent, and am painting again with a completely renewed passion and inspiration.

In the past, I was represented by Rushcutters Bay Gallery for some years, and my large, expressive, abstract paintings were sold to offices, hotels, and clubs across Australia as well as purchased by private collectors. My largest painting hangs in the Crown Solicitor’s Office in Sydney.

My formal qualifications include: Art Certificate, Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts), Grad. Dip. Ed, Masters of Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy.
