Melbourne digital artist Kimmy Hogan is back with a limited edition collection that explores a new colour palette but sticks to her trademark botanical motifs. As usual, it’s a beauty! “I wanted to break away from my formal style in favour of something more abstract and free-flowing,” says Kimmy of the range that was conjured […]
“My work is a collaboration between figurative and abstract botanical foliage and the use of shapes, lines and colours. I have no plans when I begin to paint, I just start – usually with a leaf and it’s finished when it’s finished. I don’t overthink it – the canvas speaks to me and tells me […]
Artist Anna Cole’s works have a geometric, loosely Cubist feel and her latest collection ‘Revamped’ sports a sumptuous rainbow of colour. “Creating this new body of work has been insightful for me and my creative process moving forward. I’ve also used over 30 different colours in each piece and they have all been mixed by […]
Sunshine Coast based abstract artist Ian Gunn draws inspiration from the Australian landscape and, in my mind, his work recalls some of Ken Done’s softer more pastel creations. And with works sporting titles such as ‘Summertime,’ ‘Poolside,’ and ‘Harbourside,’ Ian’s latest collection is an unabashed celebration of high summer. “Winter has now finished and with […]
“My work has been described by observers as dream-like and ethereal,” says self-taught abstract artist Michael Bond who paints in rich, signature style out of his studio in Noosa. Opulent in colour and with plenty of dramatic, dark hues, Michael is adept at building abstract textures and layers and his latest collection Eden is a celebration […]
A former high school teacher, it took the birth of her first child for Sydney-based artist Celeste Wrona to really pursue her artistic aspirations. “Five years ago my first son Hugo was born, which meant stepping away from teaching to raise him. Living on very little sleep and with my new-found motherhood ‘superpowers,’ I decided […]
Given her penchant for painting on silk and linen, and her training in fashion design, it’s no surprise that Perth’s talented Elle Campbell calls herself a textile artist. The young artist also worked as a make-up artist for a decade, which may explain why her large, dramatic, abstract works use colour to such breathtaking effect. […]
By Libby Watkins I am an artist who specialises in creating large scale commission-based artworks and I absolutely love it. It can be overwhelming knowing where to start if you would like a custom created artwork. It is a pretty easy process and the same kind of questions arise with varying clients, so here is […]
With a background in fashion and textiles, it was only when Freya Powell signed up for a painting course, with the intention of improving her print-making skills, that she realised she wanted to take it further. “I’d never thought about painting until a couple of years ago; I’d do a bit of drawing to create a […]
Both well-known artists in their own right – Rowena Martinich for her abstract expressionism and Geoffrey Carran for his more representational style – it was a natural progression for the husband and wife team to also become partners in work. Launching Martinich&Carran, their energetic and colourful artworks have now leapt off the canvas and onto a selection of […]
We’ve had our eyes on the work of Melbourne artist Morgan Jamieson for quite some time. In fact we featured her all the way back in 2014! Her style is extremely memorable; fun, vibrant and clashing (in a good way). However, while florals have long been the subject of choice, Morgan’s latest collection has seen her […]
The Sydney home of artist Felicia Aroney is Hamptons with a twist. Beautifully furnished, the walls are adorned with her own paintings and those of up and coming artists; while shelves and tables house photos and mementos. Stylish but homely, we had to take a peak inside her living room. The two coffee tables act […]
It was while pregnant with her first child that Lamai Anne started to dabble in illustration on her computer – and winning an international design competition set about a career change. “I have always been quite creative, but never really explored it enough. Growing up, I didn’t have the opportunity to go to university – […]
It was after a 15-year career in visual merchandising (across fashion and homewares), and becoming a mother, that Victorian abstract artist Sherren Comensoli started painting seriously, and it’s since become her full-time job. “When I had my first child nine years ago, I was basically at home full time, so to pass my time I […]
It’s always exciting to discover an artist at the beginning of their career, especially when you find out they’ve made a big leap of faith to follow their passion. Such is the case with 31-year-old Christopher Broome, a Gold Coast electrician who decided he would rather live a more creative life, largely inspired by his […]
