KellyFinleyresides in a small remote town of Northern New South Wales. Her art is inspired by alluring tree patterns and quiet waterways of the Mid North Coast, Dorrigo Plateau and The Northern Rivers. Many of her paintings depict local scenes, familiar beaches and flora endemic to her surroundings. As a committed painter, research and exploration of land and location is key toKelly's artmaking process. Gathering rich visual information from bushland and beaches,Kellyphotographs the landscape, sketches and develops her ideas and impressions into multi layered paintings.The process of experimentation with colour, painterly technique and composition allow lovingly colour soaked paintings to emerge.
