Lemi Painting

Sarah Chalkie Cloonan makes, researching how art and its processes might inspire and uplift while promoting learning and well-being. She documents her research in her writing and exhibits her makings as artworks or assemblages. Each piece created is a talisman, a visual metaphor that Chalkie describes as a “Momento Vivre”; curious reminders that ask us to look and wonder about living. "Looking around my domestic realm, I see many curious things that impart moments of musing and wonder. Curiosity about these everyday objects, lemons, dogs, teapots, trees, and daughters, where they rest, their narratives and the questions that emerge from their juxtaposition drive my practice".
