Abstracting the Landscape

Award winning artist Kym Barrett is an abstract landscape artist who creates richly layered paintings, which are both imaginative and metaphorical.
She lives on acreage at Chatsworth, Gympie and this hilly environment, its imagery and ambience, inevitably influences her work both consciously and unconsciously. During Covid 19 isolation, Kym relished the quiet time spent beside her creek in the bush, drawing with quick gestural juicy marks, then later tearing and reconstructing these drawings as collage, to create new abstract landscape works. The process was so satisfying and the work seemed filled with life.

Kym’s passion is in working one-on-one with committed artists, to help them discover their unique personal voice, regardless of their chosen genre or media. She derives great satisfaction in seeing artists become productive, creative and authentic in their art and life.
‘My main focus in teaching is in fostering an atmosphere of open exploration, risk and discovery…’
