ABOUT ME

KELLY HINDS

ABSTRACT, PAPERCLAY, MIXED MEDIA ARTIST

BASED ON GOLD COAST QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA

My artwork seeks its own narrative inspired by nature and the human existence. The highs, the lows, the beauty, all the experiences we are meant to have all become part of my subject matter. I find an ability to turn around what we know and see. Recreate it into an abstract form using multiple layers of colour suspended on top of each other and adding mixed media. In turn colour becomes my visual language, from my early days of painting in 2007 this has always been my practice.

 

My art practice consists of abstraction, paperclay, clay, resin, timber and wire. My primary objective is to chase narrative and emotion through every piece of artwork I create.

​

I have loved my journey so far and I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else.​
