Art by Bronwyn

About the artist...

I was born in Gympie in 1964, & have been resident of central Queensland since 1986.

My mother & my paternal grandmother used to paint. I enjoyed drawing as a child, & was encouraged by gifts over my childhood years of watercolour sets, oil paints, watercolour pencils, & conte de paris (like charcoal).

I never knew what I wanted to do when I grew up. Looking back, I wish I'd trained in graphic design - & of course I wish I had been drawing and painting often all this time!

I love colour, light and shade in paintings. These paintings are just a beginning, and may not be an indication of what you shall see from me in future.

I have attended workshops conducted by Sarah Larsen in pastels & acrylics; & by Roy Oorloff.

I have exhibited several times locally, in Biloela.

I am a member of the Biloela Arts Council, Flying Arts, Biloela Art Gallery Association, and the local Biloela art group: BAVA (Biloela Area Visual Artists).

Previous visitor comments:

"WOW! To be completely honest, I know almost nothing about art, but I know what I like, and I like your work - especially "night blooming." The colors give the painting so much dimension (I'm totally making that term up, but it's my way of saying it has depth) and the "glow" of the moon is delightful." (The Accidental Feminist)

"Bronwyn, your self portrait is so interesting! I really like how your layers of color give a sense of form!" (Helen Read)

"...INSPIRED and BlOKES were my favorites, but also AQUARIUM and VIOLINIST from the second gallery. You have much talent. I'm an artist too, although painting has been set aside to focus on writing..." (Carrie Alexander)

"I love your work, it has soo much energy and life!" (Laurie Pace)

"I am a fan of your works as well. I LOVE your 'Blokes' and the 'Inspired but Grounded'" (Charlene Zatloukal)

"...your work is lovely! I particularly warmed to aquarium, stirred some lovely emotions."

"...I like your Tribute painting very much..." (Carla Sonheim)

"Your work is wonderful as well, expressive and full of color. I truly dislike STUFFY pictures. Realism is to be admired and some do it really well, like HOllingsworth on eBay, but on the whole, as an art teacher, I enjoy the expressionism from with in the soul that pulls the energy and places it on the surface....and not the imitation of life on the outside. I like life and energy on the inside!"

"Your painting ... of the little girl is so very sweet, what a gift you have."

"Inspired but Grounded" is a sensational piece! Good stuff, love the textures."
