The Jazz Age Bird

In this vibrant watercolor and acrylic painting, we see Lila, a young dancer from the 1920s. The painting's border is reminiscent of a lead light window, framing Lila like a precious work of art. With its bold hues and lively energy, this painting captures the essence of Lila and the vibrance of the times.

The leadlight windows are outlined in metallic watercolour paint, as are some of the pearls on her necklace.

This painting is on A3 paper and has a 1cm aesthetic border around the edge. This means that when it is framed less of the painting will be lost behind the edges of the frame. The size of the painted area is 27.7cm by 40cm. The paper size is 29.7cm by 42 cm.

I am a Ballarat-based artist drawing inspiration from pop art and the bright colours of contemporary culture, as well as the principles of the Bauhaus movement. Through mixed media paintings, I explore the interplay of colours and textures, creating dynamic compositions that are both visually engaging and thought-provoking.

My work is a celebration of the everyday, transforming ordinary people and animals into vivid and compelling works of art. From bold, graphic patterns to whimsical, abstract forms, my paintings capture the spirit of modern life, inviting viewers to see the world around them in a new and exciting way.

With a keen eye for detail and a passion for experimentation, I am constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible in art. Whether working with acrylics, oils, watercolours, pencils, or pastels, I am always exploring new techniques and approaches, seeking to create works that are both fresh and timeless.
