About me
Hello — I'm Chantal.
I am an artist based in Sydney, Australia. I studied a Bachelor of Visual Arts majoring in Glass at Sydney Uni, followed by 15 years of part time tuition in painting, drawing, ceramics, and printing. This has cemented my love of colour and composition to produce paintings inspired by travel and life at home.
My work centers around colour and composition, and the subject matter consists mostly of interiors, still life and the natural world. I enjoy exploring a mix of media to use the skills gained through my continued tuition.
