Phoebe Stone
Artist’s Statement
Phoebe is a self-taught Sydney based artist working predominantly in oil pastels to explore the beauty and delight to be found in a well balanced coming together of composition, colour, pattern and texture. Scenes of the domestic, whether food or the accoutrement of daily life, are drawn and drawn again in her signature urgency; impatient to see their pleasing forms and arrangements take shape on the paper.
Biography
Her current works, whilst an exercise in pleasing compositions and colour stories, are also pieces created to capture and revel in memories of travel, meals shared and to savour particular emotional responses embedded in objects that are scattered throughout her home.
