Abbie Matthews is a Ballarat based artist. After discovering a love of oil painting at a young age, she has been captivated by exploring strong shapes and vibrant colour. Abbie paints portraits, landscapes and abstract paintings, and creates designs such as logos, illustrations and t-shirts on a commission basis. "Each night, after I put my two daughters to bed, I paint. It takes me to another place within myself, I travel through painting and I find that it’s the most healthy and settling part of my day." |
