Artwork Description

John Pickle is my own 2 yr old Labrador, so of course I've painted him a few times. This visual poem of J G Pickle (“G" for Good Boy) I had originally intended to include as a park dog in our 2024 exhibition, but had forgotten about it until yesterday "The Pick of the Bunch” are words written on the music book cover paper I used to collage the underpainting together…so whenever I look at this little painting I say the words either out loud or quietly in my own thoughts - "John Pickle The Pick Of The Bunch!” He really is a good boy.

PROFILE:
I attended the North Adelaide school of fine art in the late 1980s, and from then on I started creating art to sell. With a focus on printmaking, painting and textiles, I built up my first small art business. Several businesses later I settled on my current art-business model. My body of work includes painting for exhibitions, commissioned paintings, portraits and Illustrations, showcasing and selling my work in shops and on-line, teaching workshops and tutoring painting in various venues around Adelaide.

SKILLS:
Painting. Illustrating. Portraiture. Large scale murals. Workshop presenter. Art tutor. Blogger. Mentoring.

PRACTICE:
As an artist, I take seriously the development of my own unique style through my practice of painting and creating art everyday. I seek to present an appealing balance between chaos and order in my paintings, and this best reflects who I am as a person living in the world.

I'm also interested in recycling, if I can re-use a beautiful old frame, or a surface that's suitable I will make it into a work of art - I also seek to paint on surfaces that are made from recycled materials where possible.

Thankyou for popping in and having a look,
Sincerely,
Cat Leonard
