Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

Dana Dion

I take experiences out in nature back to my studio and paint large. I use a lot of paint. I make a mess. I am very physical when I work, moving energetically. I allow the movement to initiate rhythms. I capture the energy by painting quickly. Intuition and boldness drive the work. Accidents along the way make for spontaneity and improvisation.
In this dialogue between the planned and the unplanned, Dion finds a balance. A lexicon of shapes and her distinct language reoccur, regardless of the environment from which she draws her inspiration. “The landscapes do not depict a specific place, but rather a recording of the many places I have lived without borders or boundaries,” she explains.

I create works that excite me. I can’t do authentic work if I am also thinking about the audience, because the work is too self-conscious. I can dream and feel while I am alone, allowing my emotions to surface without directing or controlling them. 
Dana’s studio is number 19 on the 2020 Arts Trail.

Anthea Boesenberg - Studio 29B

She’s number 1 on the Arts Trail. Anthea’s exciting new work is a must-see - subtle, intriguing work that packs a punch. Her work, while abstract, is powerfully connected to feeling and to patterning in a way that is very relatable. And she’s on hand to explain her work, and to demonstrate some of her techniques on request. 

Andrea Wilson

Andrea is an architect and contemporary figurative painter. She is 18 on the 2020 trail.
Her work tends toward observational representation, often of landscapes and objects from walks around Greenwich.
Since beginning her painting practice in 2017, Andrea has participated in exhibitions in Sydney and Regional NSW. She has also won a number of awards including, most recently, the Waverley Drawing Prize.

Amanda Harrison

Amanda Harrison’s sculpture is about joy, life and love, conveying strength in optimism. She is number 15 on the 2020 Arts Trail.
She writes: “My favorite subject is the parent and child, an ancient symbol of renewal and hope. My figures are contemporary in style, using uncomplicated shapes and flowing lines, always seeking the elusive simplified human form.

I love exploring balance, often putting my figures up on their toes, hopping or dancing, creating both tension and movement in the piece as well as giving it a whimsical feel, which I love. Surface texture is also a passion, not only because texture brings energy and highlights the form but because it also makes a ‘made by hand’ statement, important in this world of mass-produced goods.”
