Marrickville Surfers
acrylic on linen 86.5 x 66cm
Vanessa studied fine art at the North Adelaide School of Art and later switched to graphic design seeing it at the time as a more secure career option. In her early adult life Vanessa worked as an illustrator, courtroom artist and news graphics artist both here and in the UK before deciding to take up freelance illustration full-time. These days Vanessa still illustrates but has more of a focus on her painting, sculpting and screen printed T- shirts due to her permanent residency at Lennox Street Studio's in Newtown. Most of Vanessa’s work centers around themes and ideas about climate justice, the natural world and the people who inspire her. Vanessa's landscape paintings let the mind a rest from everyday life and transport the viewer to extraordinary places usually from her own experiences. She see's nurturing our connection with nature as a way of awakening and strengthening our resolve towards saving it. 'Seeing nature and how people interact with it in any setting whether it be urban or country can be both fascinating and beautiful. I like to take the feeling and the temperature of the moment. If I can do that then I’m happy.'
