About

Power is a contemporary abstract painter who since graduating from the Victorian College of Arts in 2000, has developed an extensive Australian and International exhibition history. Her work focuses on the intersection of the scientific and the sublime and she is inspired by the desire to embody in painting the idea that the universe is constantly unfolding out of a range of possibilities. Power creates works from her art studio and home based on the coast of Bunurong Country in San Remo, Victoria. These works can be described as atmospheric, ethereal and hazy and they aim to create experiences where one vacillates between the boundaries of the world of formlessness and structure. The paintings are made using a process of scumbling successive layers of pigment in oil paint on linen. Power is currently undertaking her Master of Fine Arts at Monash University where she is researching the topic of ‘The sublime, quantum physics and the aesthetic dimension of art at the intersection of the two’.
