Artwork Description

*Staff Picked*
I was captivated by the marble statue of Medusa in the Hobart Museum and Art Gallery. She was created by Franklin Simmons. I have painted her in a fantastic colourful way finding a kind of pop art effect. It has been a lovely side journey to find out about the myths that surround her and think about the way she has been portrayed by different story tellers and artists over the ages.

Artist Bio

I am inspired by the light and beauty I see around every corner and I am enthusiastic to tackle many subjects. Flowers in the garden or as still life are certainly one of my loves and I also love to paint beautiful beach scenes. I am aiming to develop a loose, painterly, representational style. I work full time but always find time for my painting which helps me connect with myself and be present. The beautiful thing is that I can also connect to others through painting and it’s always so fulfilling to discover someone else who finds something special in what I paint. I regularly attend workshops to develop my skills and connect with other artists.
I enter competitions and show at local exhibitions here and there so please check my profile details to see what I am up to in that space.

A few points about my practise and work
- I use professional artist quality pigments and materials
- the varnish I use enhances the colours and protects the painting but is also removable with solvent later down the track if required (Gamvar by Gamblin)
- I prefer to sell unframed on bluethumb so the buyer can make their own choice. A few of my pieces have frames already though
-please dont hesitate to contact me via the bluethumb inbox with any queries about my pieces

Collector Feedback - “ Your beautiful painting, has arrived safely and we absolutely love it! We are moving in a few months time, so it hasn't been hung yet, but I still have it sitting out where I can admire it. Thank you for your lovely note, too.”
