Through my layered approach, I aim to evoke the contemplative quality of the golden hours of the day and the deep connection between land and spirit.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Immersing myself in the environments I paint, I engage all my senses\u2014sketching, taking notes, and photographing the subtle shifts of light and atmosphere. These field studies become the foundation of my studio practice, where I transform memory and experience into textured, emotive compositions.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Working primarily in acrylics, I build my paintings through multiple layers of paint and mediums, applied with brushes, palette knives, and handmade tools. This process creates a rich interplay of color, texture, and depth, inviting the viewer into a landscape that feels both familiar and inviting.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I have held solo exhibitions in Sydney galleries, exhibited at major art fairs, and participated in numerous group shows across regional and metropolitan galleries. I&#8217;m represented by Sydney Road Gallery. My work is also sold through The Corner Store Gallery, Satch &amp; Co Gallery, and Brush Artists. I&#8217;ve been a finalist in the Hornsby Art Prize, Lethbridge Landscape Prize (Salon), Doyles Art Award, Soho Art Prize, and the Corner Store Everyday group show. Additionally, I was selected for an Australian landscape artist residency. My paintings are held in private collections in Australia, New Zealand, France, the UK, and the US.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I paint commissions for those looking to evoke their memories of places and time through my paintings.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator sep_color=&#8221;color-wayh&#8221; icon=&#8221;fa fa-envelope-open-o&#8221;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;780676&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Would you like to join my update emails?<\/h3>\n<p>This will give you early access to exhibitions and announcements about free or discounted tickets to art events.[\/vc_column_text]\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f82684-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\" data-wpcf7-id=\"82684\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpages%2F608#wpcf7-f82684-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" aria-label=\"Contact form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<fieldset class=\"hidden-fields-container\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"82684\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"6.1.4\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f82684-o1\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p><label> Your Name (required)<br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-name\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"your-name\" \/><\/span> <\/label>\n<\/p>\n<p><label> Your Email (required)<br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-email\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-email wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-email\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"email\" name=\"your-email\" \/><\/span> <\/label>\n<\/p>\n<p><label> Subject<br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-subject\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"your-subject\" \/><\/span> <\/label>\n<\/p>\n<p><label> Your Message<br \/>\n<span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-message\"><textarea cols=\"40\" rows=\"10\" maxlength=\"2000\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-textarea\" aria-invalid=\"false\" name=\"your-message\"><\/textarea><\/span> <\/label>\n<\/p>\n<p><input class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit has-spinner\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\" \/>\n<\/p><div class=\"wpcf7-response-output\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1742095519212{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;175757&#8243;]My paintings are a tribute to the vast landscapes of rural and coastal Australia, capturing the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-608","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kirsty.gautheron.one\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kirsty.gautheron.one\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kirsty.gautheron.one\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kirsty.gautheron.one\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kirsty.gautheron.one\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=608"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/kirsty.gautheron.one\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/608\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":83729,"href":"https:\/\/kirsty.gautheron.one\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/608\/revisions\/83729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kirsty.gautheron.one\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
