Artist Statement
Entranceway by Kylie Fogarty
There is quite nothing like that first moment of the break of the trees through the sandy pathway. One step and you are there, the sight of the beach and shoreline brings a smile to the face as you find the entranceway to this wonder of nature.
About the Artist
Kylie Fogarty is a professional mid career artist, based in Canberra.
I explore my responses and connection to the natural world. This often includes cloud formations, coastal scenes, rainforests whilst narrating moments of time.”
Kylie utilises drawing as an integral element of her arts practice. She engages the use of line work to depict connections to her subject matter by using expressive yet considered mark making.
This love of drawing has extended into a diverse practice which includes drawing, printmaking, painting and miniature works of art.
Kylie Fogarty is an exhibiting artist who participates regularly in Group and Solo exhibitions. She was a finalist in The 2018 Grace Cossington Smith Art Award and The Lyn McCrea Drawing Prize 2018. Her works are housed in many collections, including being archived in the National Gallery of Australia in the Animalia International Print Exchange 2013 and 2015.
