Off Centre Square

This work features overlapping, transparent squares which combine to create new colours and shapes.
Pop Art, Modernism and Geometric Abstraction are referenced here.
'Off Centre Square' has vivid colour, texture and interesting patterns and has a glowing quality which lifts the room. Viewers have commented on the layered pattern and are mesmerised by which layers were formed first.
This work is part of a recent series of gouache works I’ve made in a decades long art practice which is rooted in abstraction and the exploration of various mediums.

Thanks for taking an interest in my artwork and art practice, spanning over 30 years now!

I explore the qualities of the materials I use and emphasise those qualities in my work, which is usually wall based and relates to painting. I often experiment with alternative materials like wool, satin and Perspex. A love of strong colour and rich textures informs my work.
My work is always abstract and relates to Abstract Expressionism and Geometric Abstraction.
There is a feminist component in my work: instead of the hard edges and large scale aspects of Modernist paintings I make small scale, intimate works, using materials associated with traditional 'feminine' arts and crafts, subverting the imposing and 'masculine' elements of the male-dominated tradition of Modernism.
Having completed an Arts Degree at Griffith University I then commenced a Visual Arts Degree at Sydney College of the Arts in 1997 and specialized in painting. Since completing my degrees, I have exhibited extensively in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Several of my artworks have been purchased by Artbank, Deutscher Menzies and private collectors.
