Audrey painting at home with two works in progress in her preferred mediums, oil and watercolour. A painter of buildings, landscapes and seascapes.
One of Audrey’s earliest memories is of sitting under gum trees, at a very early age, sketching her surrounds. She comments that “I never stop thinking about painting.” Audrey prefers to allow the painting to evolve and to let it tell its own story, rather than painting with a preconceived plan. She invests her imagination more in the use and application of her chosen media. While Audrey has lately turned to watercolour, many of her works in The Gallery are representative of both these mediums. Of painting in oils, Audrey says “I love the smell of turpentine and the freedom it allows to experiment with ideas. It allows both change and invention while still working on the painting.” Audrey also a member of the ‘All Weather Artists’, where she prefers to paint outdoors in watercolour. Of this she says that she likes the magic of watercolour, both its transparency and the impressionistic qualities that are possible.
Audrey has painted in oils and watercolour for many years and has enjoyed quite a number of Art Studies and workshops with various teachers and mediums.
Oil, acrylic and water colour works of Audrey’s have been purchased and are now situated in Canberra, Melbourne, Queensland and NSW.
First prize for oil and another first for Watercolour are among the various recognitions of Audrey’s paintings at judged exhibitions.
