Solo show at Cork Street

CARLEY Cornelissen has been painting since she was a little girl. Raised in country Victoria, she studied art in Melbourne, winning finalist places in three art awards this year and exhibiting in four different galleries across Australia.

“Two Tigers”
Now in a new business venture with her sister, Krystal, she is staging her first solo show  in Cork Street Cafe and Gallery, Gundaroo.

Cornelissen’s primary focus is on wildlife from around the world, evidenced in a recent painting  titled “Back in my day we had these insects called bees” and her participation in  Warrnambool’s SCOPE Galleries’ Art Award, “Art Concerning Environment.”

But her other passion is sourcing recycled frames and surfaces, adding to the history of an individual frame.

Though not exclusively a dramatic colourist, she sees bold colours as representing “a glimmer of hope.”

“Recent Works” by Carley Cornelissen, at Cork Street Cafe Gundaroo, August 16 to September 26, Thursday to Sunday.
