Narelle Higson | Blue Mist

Artist statement

Narelle returned to full time art practice following many years of doing other things, including working in health and children’s television. Describing herself more as a scribbler than a painter, Narelle has embraced oil pastels which when combined with cold wax, enables layering and scraping back to create a unique finish and texture. Narelle is drawn to capturing Australian landscapes, describing the colour, light and movement of grasses, bushland, flora and water.
Narelle has been a finalist in a number of juried exhibitions, including the Perth Royal Art Prize for Landscape in 2022 and her works are held within private and civic collections within Australia and overseas.
