Coralee McCarthy
The beauty of the Kimberley region provides brilliant visual imagery. I immerse myself in this space -the history, the sparseness and the sacred surroundings feed my soul. My time in the Kimberley always stirs deep emotions and I feel in awe of the spectacular landscape around me. My art has always connected with the energy of the subject.
The utilisation of bright and bold colours juxtaposes with the symbols and settings of the land bring a whimsical air. My work has evolved with a continual exploration and examination of the relationship between colour, line, space, form and texture.
I have long been interested in the crossover between landscapes, art and design. Many of my art pieces intend to entice humour and fun.
My desire is for everyone to find their Kimberley, Their space, Their beauty. To feel how I do when I spend time in the beautiful but often harsh environs of rugged, regional Australia.
