Anthea grew up in North East Victoria and completed her BFA in Fine
Art (painting) at RMIT, Melbourne. Place is an ongoing theme in
Anthea’s work. It is a certain place where she keeps returning to in her
art making. Predominantly working in painting, Anthea is exploring
formalities of representation and abstraction in painting and how to
relate this medium to these ideas. It is within explorative compositions
and representations that Anthea’s paintings are placed somewhere in
between representation and abstraction. Working from memory and
references of her own, Anthea’s paintings delve into emotions and mood
derived from this place.
Anthea has held solo exhibitions in Melbourne and Sydney and has
been a part of group exhibitions at various galleries in Melbourne as
well as regional galleries in Victoria. She was a finalist in the Macquarie Group Emerging Artist Prize in 2016. Anthea has just completed her Masters of contemporary art and VCA, University of Melbourne
