Situated amongst the idyllic rolling hills of Tasmania, Veronica can be found in her studio creating her truly one of a kind artworks. Veronica has a love for adventure and the natural beauty observed in the world around her.
Originating from South Africa and part of a notably artistic family, Veronica is a born creative. From a very young age she expressed herself with art and exceled in everything creative, which took on different forms, from oil painting to ceramics to playing the piano. An aptitude for creativity is part of her generational inheritance.
Her life followed an exceptional journey and by her mid 30’s she took her family on their most exciting adventure yet, immigrating to Australia.
Veronica's love for art was rekindled during her travels through Europe, days before the Covid pandemic hit. Since then, her journey has led her to many places and her work is displayed across Australia. She is a life-long learner and continues to push the boundaries in pursuit of her own unique style. She is a graduate of the Milan Art Institute and is currently studying her Bachelors of Fine art.
Veronica is an explorer at heart, her unique art process is fluid and unconventional. She incorporates essential oils, textile and natural earth pigments in art pieces to give it a unique grounding effect. Some of her most remarkable paintings are formed by spontaneous experimental discoveries.
Her art can be described as modern abstract realism; She uses layers of imagery and symbolism that often provokes a deeper meaning, at times even scratches can be seen in them that represent our scars from life. Veronica likes to work with a limited palette, contrasting colours and has a true love for the richness of oil paint and the depth it brings to her paintings.
She finds inspiration from the patterns in the water views framing her home studio overlooking the Derwent River. Her creativeness comes from cloud formations, sun rises, songs, sand and dreams, and her motto is that Inspiration can be found wherever you dare to look.
Veronica shares her life with her husband, kids, grandkids and her fur baby, Kylie.
Veronica expresses a fearless free spirit into the voyage of life. Her favourite quote to live by is one from Roy Goodman,
"Remember that happiness is a way of travel"
