Sweet Retreat 2025

I am delighted to present my 12th Solo Exhibition with Art2Muse Gallery. I read my paintings like a diary of memories, current thoughts and wanderings. In the current climate an overwhelming desire for peace, a welcome retreat into my studio haven to create and insulate from external chaos. I collate a collection of photos as a record or note of the fleeting thought. I have immersed myself in the balanced Japanese compositional techniques of Notan, the serenity of woodblock printing and the influence these techniques have had on Australian artists Margaret Preston and Cressida Campbell (displayed brilliantly in a recent exhibition).

A Celebratory trip to Seoul to seek the highly coloured and stimulating contemporary art, enabled me to pull all these disparate influences into my paintings and make them my own, a mix of abstraction and reality. Through the window is the inner harbour, spectacular bush land of Wedderburn or the evening streetlight in Greece. I found my friend’s studio chair captured my childhood memory of my Grandmother crocheting discordant wools into heirloom rugs. Another is an antique throne collected in Italy, a place I farewelled this last year.

An epiphany while visiting the archaeological museum in Heraklion in Crete. 3,000 year old pottery vases still held the excitement and power of any contemporary work, reaching through the millennia to touch the viewer. No politics just art. Frame within a frame, the reflection of a mirror, a painting, an open window pulling the viewer away as distorted shadows fall across a harmony of colour that may be a rug, a striped floorboard or a window sill. The chair in the work is me, my need to sit and relax, tune into a melody or read one of the many books in my studio. Glasses at the ready.

The Curated Interior 2024

In an immersive homage to her hometown of Sydney, this widely travelled artist has created a powerful exhibition of Curated Interiors. Referencing sweeping views of Sydney Harbour from Strickland House, Redleaf Pool and across the heritage rooftops of the inner suburbs, she has drawn inspiration from mid-century art, auction houses, online shopping, as well as her own archive of photography. In doing so she appropriates a rich ephemera within her paintings. “With possibly the greatest harbour in the world, Sydney has welcomed me home with its elegance and sublime beauty. I feel the calm breeze blowing across the water. I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to explore the beauty of my birthplace but sometimes you have to go far away to enjoy what was at your doorstep all along.” – Christine Webb
