VANESSA ANDERSON

I find myself consistently captivated by various landscapes, still-life compositions, and living beings, particularly the vistas of Illawarra. This region offers me a vibrant, metaphorical lexicon, and when placed in unconventional settings, it sparks profound conversations for the spirit.⁠ ⁠

 I earned my Masters in Fine Art in 1999, followed by a Diploma in Transpersonal Art Therapy several years later. It was during my second program that I recognised the healing powers of art, benefiting both the creator and the observer. ⁠ ⁠

I perceive our journeys as marked by cycles of endings and new beginnings; despite the challenges that accompany these losses, they often lead to growth and renewal following hardship.⁠ ⁠

The essence of my artwork is rooted in our ability to heal, create, endure, and transform. Embrace the darkness, for it will guide you towards the light in the end.⁠
