ABOUT YOUR ART PRACTICE

• Painting
• Sculpture

Lee-Anne has always been captivated by the rich, textural canvas of the natural environment - the palette of colours found on a single leaf, the perfectly imperfect surface of a Banksia nut, the flaking delicate layers of a Paperbark trunk, the worn and weathered story told on the surface of a shell.

With a newly built home studio this year, the extra space has meant her love of exploring patterns and textures on her backgrounds has continued to develop. It’s just such a fun way to start an artwork! There is lots of play with mixed media processes, using mark making to capture the changing surfaces of our natural environment that is revealed through time and weather. The creative focus then shifts to the subject matter, usually incorporating natural elements sourced from in her surrounding environment.

Being a multidisciplinary artist, Lee-Anne primarily works in oil paint, but also explores ideas that incorporate printmaking, sculpture, and textiles. With a love of teaching, she finds great joy in sharing skills and learning from others. The opportunity to regularly immerse herself in the stunning natural environment on her doorstep, ensures her work continues to grow and evolve.
Lee-Anne looks forward to meeting you and sharing some of her journey.

Consistently inspired by my beautiful surroundings, my artworks develop as I explore the patterns and textures found in nature. My newly built studio this year providing me the opportunity and space to further experiment with my love of tactile surfaces both actual and implied.

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

Brand new purpose built art studio in my back yard for 2024 (hopefully completed on time). Lots more space and light to display artworks and enable me to paint during MRROS

Hopefully 🤞
If all goes to plan with studio build I will be ‘working’ during the event.
I would also like to host a few workshops.

• carpark
• family

• No steps or barriers, steep inclines, uneven or loose surfaces
• Paths are clear from the carpark
• Suits a walking frame or wheelchair

• There is a sign that everyone can see for emergency evacuation

• Ensure that there is adequate space between your furniture and displays

• Perhaps this is mitigated by a ramp.
