Jacky MURTAUGH

Jacky Murtaugh is an Adelaide based contemporary artist working in oils and acrylics. Her return to painting after leaving England in 2009, has seen her build a reputation for the unconventional and extraordinary; becoming known for her vibrant and richly coloured paintings of nature, sparkling renditions of water and blinding representations of sunlight. Inspired by a vivid and unfamiliar landscape she captures the fleeting moments and a sense of the ephemeral. Her current body of work deviates from the representational taking a strong symbolic direction. Natural elements are paired with unnatural colour suggesting logical and emotional experiences of the human psyche.
