Jenie Fawckner
A creative and rural upbringing has created an ongoing fixation with the colour, composition and natural beauty of the Australian landscape. This has proven to be a very strong base for the subject treatment in all of my work I am consistently drawn to the freedom of mark making and love of texture and use this as an approach to form a large part of the artistic process in both my printmaking and painting. To take a simple or insignificant scene from my natural surroundings and present it artistically in a way that give it relevance and appeal teaches me to stop and appreciate every little aspect of nature. My joy is in the creativity… my endeavour is to share it.
