Kirsty Gautheron

Kirsty is a expressionist painter of landscapes, seascapes and Sydney ferries. Her work is about the beauty of nature and the sense of freedom that comes from being present in vast remote places. It is her hope that the viewer will have a sense of the atmosphere of her paintings and feel present while forming their own interpretation of a work.

Kirsty's landscapes are infused with memory and the inherent, often mysterious aspect of nature. While not attempting to champion any specific cause, she is passionate about the natural world and her art advocates that nature is worth preserving.

Kirsty grew up in rural NSW and now lives near the coast in Sydney, Australia. These two sets of life experiences impact her work. Landscapes and Seascapes offer her the sense of vastness and magnitude that can be found in much of her work.

She paints using acrylics and mediums. These materials allow her to work in layers, the painting gradually revealing itself over time. You will often see the use of impasto to build luscious texture in parts of her paintings applied using brushes, palette knives and made implements.

Kirsty's work has been shown in solos and group shows in Sydney and rural NSW and Qld. She is represented by Sydney Road Gal...

Kirsty studied Design at the School of Visual Art in the early 80s and then went on to further studies at East Sydney Tafe (now the location of National Art School). She regularly undertakes painting workshops with well-known artists. She paints with an artist group weekly.
