ABOUT YOUR ART PRACTICE

• Drawing
• Mixed Media
• Painting

With a young family in Margaret River, I have worked from home and enjoyed painting and creating in my spare time for the last five years. My experiences in the Pilbara, my love of the ocean and exploring the beautiful south west have built a wealth of inspiration for my art which has taken me on a journey of creation.

I want to create art from what I see, feel and experience in our beautiful environment and from my own life experiences. I get the urge to recreate the imagery, patterns, colours, textures and emotions that are ever so beautiful in life and nature. With the passion to recreate such a variety of scenery and themes, I have found the joy of exploring many mediums and techniques that have seemed to suit the various inspired art pieces in my ever-evolving artistic journey.

My body of work includes;

- a series of abstract works painted in acrylic and inks with layers of intricate patterns in rich bold colours;

- a series of underwater creatures such as turtles and sea dragons that are luminescent;

- a series of my own unique style that I call "Pop-art Portraiture" - a mixed media technique with themes of nature and human form/ portraiture that are bold, emotive, passionate and yet somewhat intricate and delicate at the same time; and
- a series of original Gyotaku fish ink prints and mixed media pieces utilising the prints to create unique and colourful underwater life oeuvres.

With such a variety or works and styles, I'm sure you will find and fall in love with a piece while visiting my studio. Please be sure to check my social pages to see more examples of my work. I look forward to meeting you during Margaret River Open Studios 2024.

With a passion for exploring art creation through various techniques and media, Misty creates a wide variety of vibrant art pieces of different styles and themes including abstract, portraiture and underwater life. Celebrating nature and patterns in nature with vibrant and unique art - there is something for everyone to fall in love with.

Uploading your images

The process has changed a little this year;

Step 1 – Add 1 image that best represents your work for the printed Event Guide

Step 2 – Add an additional 9 artwork images and studio portraits for our marketing team

Step 3 – Add up to 10 images for your website listing – they can be the same or different to the images above

Step 4 – Add one main image for your website listing.

Each image must be 300dpi, between 2.5MB and 5MB, and formatted as a jpeg file.

Re-name all files to include your name, artwork title, year created, medium and size before uploading e.g., Jane Doe_Wild Seascapes_2018_Oil on canvas_10x10cm.

Please ensure the filenames contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores or hyphens. Special characters such as punctuation will cause the upload to fail.

Please add a photographer credit to the file name if required by the photographer.

(Note: we love to use smiling, welcoming studio portraits to promote MRROS on social media)

Studio Details

My studio space for open studios 2024 has been set up in the large shed at the rear of the property. It is a quaint property surrounded by natural jarrah and marri bushland where visitors will hear the black cockatoos screeching and wrens chittering outside whilst they enjoy musing the art within the three-roomed shed space.

Whilst hosting my open studio, I will be keeping busy at times creating new pieces. Visitors are invited to enjoy a warm drink while enjoying the exhibit.
