Zara1 with cup Giclee Print Ed. 1 of 3

Zara is a fabulous part-time model. This is painted from life in the studio from a quick dynamic gesture pose. We experimented with different “props” like the coffee cup and towel, to make the standing pose more natural. It’s painted quickly with oil on linen so as not to tire her.

This print is on museum grade smooth matte cotton rag 310gsm paper with archival quality inks. It looks great. It is unframed but could be displayed as mounted on board or under glass, if preferred. It would liven any room. This print is printed to order as such please allow 7-14 additional days for printing. Different sizes are also available.

Born in Penang, Malaysia from Scots, Malaysian and Australian heritage, I am a contemporary neo-post-impressionist realist. My passions are for colour and movement and the strange wonder of what we see – in people, places and objects. I enjoy the never-ending challenge of attempting to master the tonal richness, subtleties and daring of oil as well as the freshness and vitality of pastel. Somehow to balance subtlety and boldness!

I mainly like portraits, figure and contemporary plein-air landscape painting. I bring a broad multi-cultural experience to my art-making, while continuing to learn. With earlier degrees in arts and engineering, then varied work experience, I was finally able to find Sydney’s contemporary classical art schools. After four years’ formal study in Australia and France, plus Madrid workshops with Nicolas Uribe and Miguel Coronado, and Sydney workshops with Idris Murphy, Kim Spooner and others, I have been lucky enough to exhibit in many prestigious group shows in N America, Europe and Australia. Prizes include being a finalist in the Mosman and Percival prizes in Australia and semi-finalist in the Moran, NSW Plein Air and Spain’s ModPortrait prizes. Other highlights include having a third solo show in Sydney in 2024.
