Artwork Description

Large still life, the still life paintings are a homage to Margaret Olley who's home/studio was reconstructed in the Tweed Regional Gallery. I was amazed at the number of objects and begun to photograph them. Working on these paintings in my studio I recognized some of the objects are repeatedly used in her paintings.

Artist Bio

Having studied Interior Design and worked in the Architectural field for many years, I decided to pursue my true passion, painting. I enrolled in painting at the National Art School (NAS East Sydney) and attended for 4 years part time, by the end of the course I knew I had to paint and exhibit full time. So I gave up design & studied Fine Art full time for a further 3 years, majoring in painting and minoring in sculpture.
After graduating from the National Art School in 1994 along with fellow artist, Malcolm Poole we founded the Lennox Street Studios in Newtown in 1995 as an accessible studio environment for artists. It continues to flourish today.
