Katrina

'Katrina' was inspired from a picture of a bride I saw online. I was drawn to the beautiful face and the rich curls so I set out to make my own version of a beautiful lady all dressed up for a special occasion. It is a combination of acrylic paint and the use of impasto to create a three dimensional effect for the flowers and ear ring.

The sides of the canvas have been painted so it can be hung unframed or if you prefer you can frame it according to your choice of frame after purchase. This original acrylic painting is sealed with a low gloss varnish and is ready to hang.

I am an Indian born, Melbourne based artist. Art was a passion of mine in my teens and twenties and I wanted to pursue it as a career, but back in those days the chances of making it as an artist and earning a living through it were bleak and my parents encouraged me to get a proper degree that would get me a decent job :) So, after a career, marriage, kids, migrating to a new country and then later a job redundancy, 35 or so years later, I now find myself free to pursue my passion and creativity again!

In my youth I worked with water colours, oils and pencils, but now I mostly use acrylic and watercolours. Being a self taught artist with no formal training, my natural style leans towards realism and I create each piece with great care, paying careful attention to every detail. I also love to dabble in mixed media, fabric collage and pottery.

So, as you browse through my portfolio, maybe one of my paintings will speak to you and find its way to your heart and home.
