Rainbow Sky

Tucked away in a hidden corner of the sky, where the colors change like a sunset, there's a field of wildflowers whispering secrets to the wind. They're thin and delicate, painted in delicate shades of blue. The sky around them is a rainbow sorbet of pink, blue, green and yellow, This is a quiet painting, but it makes you feel like you've stumbled onto something special.

My artworks in the Other Skies collection did not start with any specific image in mind and tended to evolve as I painted. My goal was some abstracted impressionist works that while recognisable as a landscape, did not represent something that “is”, but rather something that could be or might be …. somewhere.

This artwork is framed in plantation oak, signed on the back, comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and registered on the National Registry of Australian Art and Artists.

"Art comes alive in the eyes of the viewer".

I am an Australian contemporary artist living surrounded by wildlife and natural bushland. As a self-taught artist I enjoy challenging myself and experimenting with different ideas and subject matters exploring the boundless possibilities of abstract and expressionism.

My influences are mostly from the stunning abstract and expressionist works of the mid-20th century. What I most enjoy about painting is the colours, shapes, patterns, brushstrokes and marks that one can use to create, or recreate, a feeling, an emotion, or just something fun. My approach is generally to reimagine the world around me and try to capture this on canvas. These re-imaginings can be inspired by objects, locations, nature and sometimes just ideas and concepts. Whilst I do sometimes create several paintings in similar styles, I generally feel the need to constantly evolve and not restrict my creativity to any one particular style. My art journey is all about embracing creativity, change, and new and exciting challenges. My mind is overflowing with ideas and the need to explore different works and push my boundaries.

I grew up in a creative family around the visual and written arts and although I principally worked in the information technology and scientific fields, I have experimented with a range of creative activities including sculpting, clay hand building, and glass fusing, before moving into watercolour abstract landscapes, and now abstract expressionism in acrylic. I am a member of the Royal Queensland Art Society, have displayed my art in many shows, and sold both nationally and internationally. Follow me on IG and FB - katehesslingart

I hope you enjoy my art.
