Full Bloom Print

I paint most days,have been for some 20years now. Life is art to me, and art is life.I am inspired by the old masters of Renaissance and the Pre Raphaelites. After many years in the fashion industry Peta was ready for a change of direction......Painting on a large scale art that looked three dimensional, called Trompe L'oeil. Paintings were commissioned for both commercial and residential clients in Australia and South East Asia. Peta's work regularly appeared on television and in many magazines, House and Garden Year Book1999 , Country Looks Magazine, " Belle" Home Beautiful. The Melbourne Age Newspaper " Domaine" and many more . In 2000 Peta then moved on to create a coffee table book of her own all about her knowledge and experiences in the art world of illusion,called "Creating Grand Illusions" documenting her work over the past twenty years.It has sold Nationally and Internationally. Peta has now scaled down her art and paints on canvas. She paints all her images directly on to the canvas, painting in layers of colour using acrylic paint building up layers of colour creating a translucent affect. Some work is figurative and some are of flowers.
