Australian artist Bronwyn Woodley Graham has had her works exhibited broadly throughout
Australia and internationally in the UK and Europe. Her works have been featured in various
publications and are held in public and private collections in Australia, Hong Kong, the UK and the
USA

Oils are Bronwyn’s most loved medium and she originally trained in the classical style of the old
masters. Her creative career began as a sign writer, then as a graphic artist in her younger years
and transformed to fine art around 2001.

Bronwyn’s landscapes are predominately semi-abstract in style and invoke the viewer to respond
to her unique interpretation. Her work invites a sense of mood or memory, a feeling or emotion that
captures a moment. Often painted from her own imagination her paintings have been described as
dramatic, ethereal and emotive, with comparisons being drawn with that of the renowned english
artist J W Turner.

Bronwyn’s paintings bring a unique interpretation of place that so generously lends so much of it to
the viewer. She allows enough space in her paintings for each of us to imagine our own story
within. In a way, she develops the space to a point in which the viewer is beckoned into the scene
and then set free to explore and create their own personal journey.

“My painting is an emotional response to my surroundings and the images I store within. I often
paint imaginary scenes, inspired by nature but allowing the painting to take me on a tour of
discovery that can end far from where my original concept began”

“Pushing the boundaries between the real and imagined has become an attachment for me. Most
of my recent work is an exploration of this. It has become a journey towards a destination or place
that I am at home with. Neither true, nor false, but something I have fallen in love with along the
way. The landscape leaves me with an indescribable urge to explore it in all its achievements.”

Bronwyn works from her studio in Balmain, Sydney from where she paints and teaches a selective
number of students each week.
