Artwork Description

A pencil drawing of a girl standing at the edge of a pool, her gaze cast outward into a wash of green. The composition captures a moment of quiet contemplation, where stillness meets a sense of openness and possibility. The scene is rendered in delicate graphite tones, with a restrained use of colour that echoes the approaches of Brett Whiteley and David Hockney. Like Whiteley, there is an expressive fluidity in the line work, while the bold yet simple addition of colour recalls Hockney’s playful modernism. Together, these influences bring depth, mood, and a fresh dimension to the minimal composition — an intimate study of space, figure, and atmosphere.

Artist Bio

Kirsty thanks her Australian country upbringing and her close relationships with her mum and two sisters who have all studied Architecture for the whimsical and often naive urban subject matter that now dominates her work.
“My work is inspired by the beautiful or unique architecture of a home; the paradise of family. I love colour and am always trying to express a sense of joy. I feel that artists David Hockney, Reg Mombassa and Nick Olsen are my muse when it comes to influencers.

“After becoming a teacher and spending decades of my life teaching drama, art and working with children which I love I have finally decided to give my one art practice ago. Having painted as a hobby my whole life I felt it time and had a burning desire to make art my full time gig.

With ‘finding my way’ an art community on the central coast I am finally on my way to making that dream a reality.
