Artist Statement for the Website

I've been a passionate Artist since I was a young girl and I absolutely love creating works with a connection and meaning. This is my 4th year showcasing my work through "Open Studio's". It is such a wonderful experience meeting so many lovely people and fellow artist's. I'm really looking forward to meeting you all again and welcoming past collectors, visitors and new people to my studio in 2024.

I have lived in Dunsborough for 26 years raising my family and running my own business. In my downtime, I love to paint and explore artworks that have a special meaning to me and bring joy to my heart while creating.

Through my art I express myself through vibrant colours, unique textures and interesting shapes. I paint using High Quality Acrylic's and Mixed Mediums along with some new Collage Artworks from around my 'Home' and 'Under the Sea'.

At present, the 'Australian Landscape' compositions I choose to paint reflect the places I've lived or explored, capturing the beauty and vastness of our land.

My love of 'Flora and Fauna' are also a celebration in my artwork with bright, striking colours and has been compared to Mexican or Folk including some Graphic Design elements.

I have a strong desire to create everyday and it brings joy, beauty, freedom and fulfillment to my life. I hope this resonates to everyone who visits my studio. I'm looking forward to seeing you and talking about my art practice and how I fit it in around work and personal life.

Artist Statement for the Event Guide

Libby's diverse range of artworks are uniquely Australian, reflecting memories and places she has travelled throughout her childhood to today. Her vibrant, bold, striking patterns and textures, reflect the beauty within the Australian Landscape, Flora, Fauna and Ocean inspired designs.

Studio Details

Briefly describe your studio space (is it in your home, shed, farm etc, is it filled with light, is it tiny or cavernous?) & can you provide a taste of what visitors will see and experience there?

Libby-Jean Designs Studio is a very friendly, calm and welcoming space. It is attached to my home and although it is on the smaller side, it has lots of light and wonderful vibrant colours to immerse yourself into.
My Palette Knife artworks are very uniquely Australian with lots of texture and movement. I have a very diverse range of artworks including collage and other interpretations of the Australian Landscape, Flora, Fauna and Ocean designs.
There is something for everyone, whether it is some beautiful handmade cards, coasters, textiles, prints, jigsaws or original artworks to purchase.
I will be available to chat about anything and everything art or life.

Describe the kind of interactive experience you may provide to visitors. E.g. are you demonstrating your art practice?

I will be painting throughout Open Studio's, working on some new artworks over the 2 weeks.
