While home I found a fantastic new artist, Melbourne born
Mandy Renard, b. 1976. Mandy moved to Hobart in 1999 to study at the
Fine Arts at the University of Tasmania, which is where I went! It's a fabulous Uni. Mandy continues to work from her studio at Neika, Tasmania. Her work has a subtle familiararity for me. It might be the beautiful dry-point etching figures and earthy tones remind me my former lecturer,
Barbie Kjar, or maybe it's her reference to the Tasmanian landscape, so wild and rugged,
that she portrays. I really love Mandy's freshness and her depth of detail in each piece. With themes of beauty, love and a sense of 'home' there's something inately endering, alluring, strongly feminine, romantic, mythical and elegant in her work. I've chosen a few pieces to share with you. Mandy's work can be found locally at the
Handmark Gallery, Hobart, or online
here.
