Contemporary acrylic & mixed media paintings

"Acrylic paints are such a versatile medium"

Tricia’s contemporary paintings on canvas, meld botanical and contemporary art styles. Her love of nature and empathetic heart is reflected in her observation of connections and relationships, both between people, and with nature. Her still life paintings draw on mementos of her past. Vintage vases and materials once owned by those long gone, and ephemeral flowers.

Lively paintings are filled with layers of acrylic paint in vivid colours. The subjects are diverse and range from botanical flowers to whimsical characters drawn from her imagination. A defining feature of Tricia’s work is the delicate detail found in each painting. Look closely at the angel’s wings and you’ll find subtle detail in the feathers, you might even find a small bee buzzing beneath a flower.

What subjects do you like to paint?

As with all her work, Tricia’s garden and rural property is what inspires her the most. Her floral paintings of cottage garden flowers and native Australian flora explore the bold colours of nature and it’s beauty. Tricia is drawn to the play of light and captures it, dancing across petals, where it disappears into the deeper depths of shadows.

How would you describe your style?

The contemporary art paintings are executed in a style somewhere between realism and naivety. The paintings are colourful without being gaudy. Tricia paints mostly using acrylic paint, however mixed media is sometimes introduced to emphasize whimsical themes and interesting areas of texture. Subsequently, two dimensional paintings begin to rise to another dimension, which draws the observer to the painting.
