Off To The Hills by Jacinta Payne

Features

ARTIST NOTES: 'Off to the Hills' abstract landscape, reflecting on the vastness of this beautiful land of Australia and its ever changing scenery. We love to hike and have spent some time in the last few years exploring the hills, lakes and mountains in the Murrindindi Shire. This painting was inspired by those areas, with the lakes and dams surrounded by the huge hills there.

ARTIST BIO

I am a Melbourne based artist who aims to tread as lightly as I possibly can on our beautiful planet.  I am endlessly inspired by nature and I hope my art can bring joy while raising an awareness of the need to protect the earth as best we can.  

While my roots are in traditional art, it is in the process of abstraction that I feel most connected with my purpose. I like to experiment with different techniques and utensils to apply paint, and usually end up using my hands, which further connects me with the painting.

My art practice began during a childhood spent in the bush, growing up on the edge of Morton National Park in the Southern Highlands of NSW. Collecting rocks, bark and leaves, spending countless hours immersed in nature. Absorbing knowledge from the collective creativity of my family, observing my Dad painting landscapes, seascapes, & still-life and my brother painting Australian birds & wildlife, inspired in me an inevitable passion for making art.
