Bronwyn Rodden

Winner of the 2021 Waverley Woolahra 9x5 Landscape Prize, my works are a celebration of the natural world. I love to create my own materials and incorporate these into my work. I have also been interested in paper, in particular rice paper and the Chinese scroll form, with which I am currently experimenting. In my most recent exhibition in Sydney, called Natural INKuiry, nine of my works sold, including one to the television production company, Matchbox, which will be using it in an upcoming series, Secret City #2.

My mother was my first art teacher. She would take me with her to her classes in the city when I was home from school 'sick' - well maybe. At a very young age I was introduced to principles of colour, perspective, form everything to do with painting. I think of myself as very lucky to have this early introduction. I've also attended some classes but have really educated myself by travelling widely and seeing artworks live. Again, I know I am lucky to be able to do this.
