Hayfever

A part of the 'Seasons' series, this painting is inspired by the suggestion of spring, lighter colours in the sky and garden, and the optimism that spring encourages. The overlaying finer brush details represent the insects and pollen in the air as the temperature warms, with a 'tongue in cheek' view of the brain fog that hayfever sufferers see through.
Includes some beautiful textures on the clouds.
This painting has white painted edges and is ready to hang.

Liz is an Australian artist based in Black Rock, Victoria, specialising in geometric abstract and mixed media, using acrylic and origami paper on canvas.

Deeply influenced by the remote natural landscape surrounding her childhood home in Northern Tasmania, Liz also studied the Japanese language as a child and draws on her passion for Japanese culture through inclusion of origami paper and gold leaf as a reference to Kintsugi (the art of repairing broken pottery).

Liz’s technique involves drafting then filling geometric angles, progressively creating a gradient of depth and movement. She uses painting as a form of meditative expression and seeks to create pieces that inspire calmness and evoke an appreciation for the beauty of nature.

“I love to consider how light reacts in different environments. The geometric angles are intended to convey the strength of the subject and my appreciation for simplification and structure.”
