Faridah Cameron

I saved the link to this Australian artist's work after liking some images I'd seen some time ago. Consequently where I came across this artists work is now beyond recall but you can visit Faridah Camerons website here and her home page has an email address.

Sane stars. Acrylic on canvas, 12 panels exch 400 x 400 mm

Munus. acrylic on canvas, 1150 1250 mm

    

Feral Icons. Acrylic on canvas, 1250 x 1150 mm

Rock Pool Starry Night. Acrylic on canvas, 1600 x 800 mm

Eternity Travels With Us. Acrylic on canvas, 1250 x 1150 mm

Acrylic on canvas, 870 x 740 mm

Acrylic on canvas, 900 x 900 mm

Something about the work struck me as quite singular..although it seems to refer to several genres of painting... and I particularly like her take on pattern which is so strong but not predictable. The most recent work is shown first.

Text shown on website: 

Faridah Cameron is an Australian visual artist. Originally from Melbourne, her work has evolved from her experiences in many different cultural environments in Australia and overseas.

Her work with international theatre director Neil Cameron led to the co-founding of a visual theatre company in Queensland in 1993. As artistic director and principal artist she oversaw the design and creation of stunning large-scale imagery for dozens of events across Australia.

Faridah has lectured and conducted workshops in fine arts and creativity in schools, universities and community settings across Australia.

In 2002 Faridah altered the focus of her work to full time studio practice. In her paintings, she explores the complexities and implications of our relationship to the natural environment. Her imagery is underpinned by a longstanding interest in mythology and cultural interpretation.
