Col Ritchie

Painter, Sculptor, Illustrator, Educator

I'm an Australian artist from the Northern Beaches of New South Wales, with a deep passion for the natural world. From a young age, I've drawn inspiration from the landscapes, flora, and fauna that surround me.

My creative expression spans across three mediums: painting, sculpture and illustration.

My landscapes evoke peaceful harmony that transports viewers into a world of quietude, inviting contemplation and reflection amidst nature's beauty.

Bachelor of Education Visual Arts

Since beginning my exhibition journey in 2023, I have held three solo shows, participated in five group exhibition, and completed commission for clients both locally and internationally.
My work is showcased in various galleries within NSW, with many pieces finding new homes both across Australia and overseas.
