Bronwyn is passionate about art as a means of creating, expressing, exploring, processing and making sense of the world – through her own eyes and the eyes of others.
Bronwyn is interested in how the elements of art are brought together to create cohesion, connectedness or even a contented discord. How she plays with the encounter between light and dark, smooth and rough and geometric shapes on two and three dimensional pictorial spaces is captivating.
Her mixed media artworks are geometric abstractions imbued with silent wonderings. Constructed in an exclusively horizontal and vertical format that relies on the limited repertoire of spacious, squares and rectangles to highlight subtle details. An almost monochromatic, earthy reduced palette of neutral greys, browns and gentle muted hues are inspired by the natural world. The diverse materials preferred include pencil, paint, cardboard, fabrics and a variety of new and recycled papers, all coming together that provides an organic hand-made feel.
Although these artworks are devoid of obvious imagery, occasionally concealed text quivers beneath the layered complexity of the simple geometric structures. This inclusion disrupts the predictable use of shape, tones and textures. The text is extracted from daily newspapers, alluding to the notion of the everyday and familiar but not necessarily the comfortable.
After following a freelance career in Graphic Design for several years Bronwyn returned to study in 2007 to gain a Honours degree in Fine Arts majoring in Painting and Drawing at La Trobe University. She then decided to share her passion for art and support her career with a Graduate Diploma of Education in 2010.
Bronwyn has exhibited in several group shows and a few solo shows, and has work in both local and international collections.
Throughout years of learning and practice Bronwyn has developed many skills technically, conceptually and creatively.
