MY STORY
Phoebe is a self-taught Sydney based artist working predominantly in oil pastels to explore the beauty and delight to be found in a well balanced coming together of composition, colour, pattern and texture.
Scenes of the domestic, whether food or the accoutrement of daily life, are drawn and drawn again in her signature urgency; impatient to see their pleasing forms and arrangements take shape.
Phoebe works intuitively and allows the unique process of making each piece to have as much relevance as the composition and colour stories themselves. Phoebe celebrates organic mark making; smudges, incidental colour mixing, imperfect lines and all..
Phoebe has worked with numerous Sydney Galleries & has work in many private collections in Australia and abroad.
Phoebe’s work has been featured in numerous publications and has been profiled in The Design Files.

“To me, it is a very grounding and meditative thing. I just like to sit and give in to the practice and see what I am drawing, take form. In a way, it’s kind of selfish. I draw because I enjoy doing it.!”
