Sydney
I am on a mission to find the iconic nature of the areas I live in and visit. Living on Sydney’s northern beaches, this is often coastal areas.

Sydney based artist, Charmian Porter, has been painting in oil, acrylic and water colour mediums consistently for many years. Primarily working ‘alla prima’, a direct painting technique usually completed in one session, she thrives on finding the colours and lines that are emotive to the subject. She is interested in finding the iconography of our environment; the patterns, shapes and colours that stir something within our collective memories. Visits to the Chauvet caves in France and galleries in Europe, have focused her creative practice to this end. Charmian has a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication and is currently devoting her time to her art.
