ARTIST IN ACTION – We’re delighted to announce that Joanna Davies from The Toowoomba Gallery will be live painting at Affordable Art Fair Brisbane from 9 – 12 May!
Joanna has been drawing, building and creating her whole life: growing up in an large family of potters, dancers, painters and actors on a dirt road in rural Brookfield, Queensland.
"I paint in oils, quickly, and usually large scale. My work is informed by my relationships with people, animals, and the landscape around me. My style is gestural, varying from monochromatic to bursts of colour and is characterised by its energy, heavy application of oils and strong narrative."
