Pacific Kelp Painting

"The artist Irena Grant-Koch has a background in the arts having trained at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in her youth. Her work has a wonderful and personal sense of colour and composition. There is a strong sense of an organic connection with her feeling for paint and her understanding of music. The feeling for balance and design is instinctive and almost classical. Her work consists of multitudes of rich layers of complementary and harmonious colours that are rubbed back and glowing through from underneath one-another. The effect is richly evocative: a tapestry of colour and texture in paint..." Leoni Duff - artist
