Stand by Me

Make a statement! This artwork is sure to impress and will be the focus of any room or space, you can feel the uplifting drama, movement and high energy. A large scale abstract work painted on high quality raw canvas in elegant tones of classic moody mutted blue contrasting bright white and mist grey.

Layered paint reveal descriptive textures, delicate details, thick rough textures in areas and soft smooth in others, the perfect balance and harmony inspired by our natural world.

In this painting, I've merged the ebb and flow of emotions with acrylic's fluid grace. I've chosen an abstract style to convey a sense of serenity and impressionism to give depth and a soothing minimalism that invites contemplation. The deep blues and fading horizons evoke a peaceful solitude, reminiscent of standing by an endless sea, wrapped in the gentle embrace of quiet companionship. This piece is a sanctuary for the soul, a visual whisper of tranquility to enrich any space it graces.

Inspired by the Australian ocean and coastline this work is painting in soft mist grey, white and midnight blue.

Kathleen is an Australian abstract expressionist artist living and working on the Gold Coast. With a passion for working on large-scale abstract paintings her beautifully calming works are inspired by the country’s picturesque natural environment. She studied at Brisbane Institute of Art, ANU Art School Canberra and Parsons School of Design New York City. She has exhibited across the globe with her works being held in private and public collections in 15 countries. Kathleen is a prize finalist, with her work featured on the national television home renovation series THE BLOCK 2019 and 2020.

Kathleen’s pieces bring the outdoors indoors, with her gentle pinks, dynamic blues and turquoise greens adding a sense of peace to people’s lives. Kathleen has a deep connection to mother nature and can only explain her practice as a need to paint everyday, expressing impressions, feelings and experiences in her daily life. Rhee’s personal style has an atmospheric, powerful, mesmerising touch that she achieves by using subtle colour, depth and descriptive detail.

Born and rise on the coastal hinterland between the Gold Coast and Brisbane she grew up spending all of her free time out in nature. When Kathleen is not painting she is spending time outdoors, at the beach, in the rainforest or looking up at the sky. Colours of her natural surrounds and the sense of calm and joy it brings is what inspires her work. Kathleen combines colour staining, sketching, splattering, layering and painting with a brush to create her works. She enjoys working on a variety of canvas, paper with acrylic, oils and ink.
