Sheree Gai Glasson is a multimedia artist who creates images inspired by dreams, mythology, and the extraordinary within the every day.
WHERE HARBOUR MEETS OCEAN
Sheree was born on the North Head of Sydney Harbour, where the waters of ocean and harbour unite. “This for me is the metaphor for life,” she says. “We inhabit, create and experience all from this third place: a space neither inside or beyond us, but both.”
VISUAL STORYTELLER
Sheree studied a Bachelor of Arts in journalism and photography then worked as a reporter and photographer in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. She shot, developed and printed her photographs daily in the newsroom’s dark room. This influences her style to this day, including her dynamic framing and often candid or closeup portrayals of subjects. Working in public relations, she travelled across Australia’s tropical north. This included collaborating with other creatives to produce videos, books and calendars, celebrating the people and landscapes of the Top End.
BEYOND THE SEE
Sheree received a Jungian analysis for over a decade, exploring the symbolic and collective dimensions of her artworks and dreams: “Through this I came to respect the power and magic of the archetypes that animate and unite all life.”
RHYTHM AND MYSTERY
Sheree travelled and lived in Europe and Latin America, pursuing her photography and dance. These experiences have influenced her magical realist style; and deepened her interest in mythology and the world’s spiritual wisdoms. “Art for me is about honouring life and deepening into its beauty and mystery,” she says. “Art also allows me to celebrate the unity within our diversity: how we are interconnected and yet also each utterly unique.”
INTERIOR STYLING
Sheree enjoys interior styling. To enhance your artwork’s presentation in dialogue with your home, Sheree would be happy to help you to design and then organise framing for you. This can be done on site (Sydney) or through online consultation.
COMMISSIONS
Sheree is available for portrait commissions for Sydney residents. Sheree also paints ‘dancing flowers’ in your favourite dance or musical style. She has also begun doing astrological portraiture. In this process, she generates your astrological birth chart, then portrays this visually using intuition and featuring archetypal energies prominent in your chart.
