Alexandra Blunn – Small Batch

“This collection of work celebrates the little things that bring us comfort and happiness. From homegrown vegetables to warm cups of tea… it’s the little things that evoke a sense of peace in our lives and ground us to our happy place. I have chosen to work small for this exhibition and focused on individual subjects in my home and garden that bring me joy.”

Alexandra Blunn is a self-taught full time painter from Berry on the NSW South Coast where she has lived all her life, and now lives with own young family.

Alexandra says “I have always painted, but it was only since having my two children that I felt my inhibitions dissolve enough to show my work to others. Since then I have evolved my work, predominantly working in the same style I have been working in since high school. My intuitive style of painting often includes bold colours and layers to reveal the story of my work through the use of pattern. I do this by applying a layer of paint over the colour in varying intensity and embellishing with intricate patterns. I often include strange little creatures and hidden layers in my paintings, and my children always make their mark, which I include in the finished painting.”

Alexandra’s paintings always bring a pop of colour and a sense of fun and playfulness to our walls at The Garden. We are pleased to see her return to grace our walls and these paintings will be on display from Wednesday the 28th of May until Wednesday the 25th of June. All paintings are available to purchase.
