"Annemarie Whiley" 28th July - 11th AugustOPENING NIGHT THURSDAY 28th AUGUST 7 - 9pm
Opening nights in the warm, friendly Yindela, in the heart of the Forest are wonderful! I'm working with so many talented local artists at present with amazing artworks and visions. What excites me is unearthing these gems and getting their work 'out there' Annemaire Whiley opens her very first solo exhibition after being a popular artist in the current "Local Birds" group show at Yindela. "Annemarie Whiley" 28th July - 11th August
I hope you enjoy this display of my paintings. This is the first public display of my art and I’m very happy to be able to share it with you.
I love the opportunity that art gives me for self expression. I studied art in high school and have since also enjoyed studying photography and musical theatre. My style has developed especially over the last 5 years since being able to be at home with my two young children. Painting with acrylics on canvas is my main medium while I also experiment with pastels on paper and I have always sketched with pen and pencil as well.
In my paintings I aim to achieve a true realisation of what I have absorbed around me. I like to express this as freely as I can by using a mixture of brush and finger painting techniques.
Living on the edge of Garigal National Park with my husband and two young sons has greatly inspired my painting. I have the amazing energy of my family and the beautiful surroundings of native birds, trees and magical sunsets.
I also enjoy painting personal artworks for people for their homes, as I have for some of my friends and their children. It is one of my favourite gifts to give.
