Our Mission and Actions
At THE ART HUB, our mission is initially focused on addressing a profound imbalance within the art world, specifically catering to women artists. In the current landscape, a mere 5% to 15% of artworks traded at auctions are created by women, starkly contrasted by the overwhelming 85% to 95% of works by male artists. This disparity is not only confined to auctions but is also prevalent in exhibitions, where male-created art significantly overshadows that of their female counterparts.
By concentrating our efforts on female artists, THE ART HUB aims to counteract this imbalance and champion women within the art community. This initiative is designed to amplify the visibility of women artists, making their creations more accessible to a wider audience, and ultimately striving for a more balanced representation of genders within art auctions and exhibitions. By prioritizing women in art, our platform boldly advocates for equality and diversity within the art sector, signaling a commitment to reshaping and enriching the cultural landscape.
Artist Statement
The Ocean is my Muse.
The rich, golden sand of the Australian coastlines beside azure and turquoise blues of the sea. Secret worlds within the tidal pools, or the colours of a sunrise playing across the rock face on the sandstone cliffs.
I endeavour to tell a ‘story’ about the landscape, to take the viewer on a walk beside the ocean. I use emotion, impact and colour captured visually into abstract naturalism.
Naturally formed textures, shape and pattern are what I look for. The materials and the layering of my signature mixed media techniques reflect this.
These include Inks, acrylics, watercolours, ground natural pigments, sometimes combined with delicate highlights of pure gold leaf, shell and ochres collected from the shores of the Australian coastlines.
