Persephone Painting

Annette Golden is inspired by mythology and creation stories because they are living testaments to our sense of identity, struggles and beliefs with a surprising and enduring relevance to contemporary life. Part of the joy in immersing yourself in history and diverse cultures comes from finding new and alternative interpretations, symbolism and imagery. Where a work engages with the complexity and diversity of life, it often sparks ideas and discourse, encouraging us to connect at a deeper level. That connection is a part of the magic of creativity, in whatever form it takes. Annette's iconography seeks to reflect that inner journey, inspired by nature and the experiences that connect us all. Annette’s practice is represented in a number of private collections in Australia.
