DEL KATHRYN BARTON


The wild and wonderful world of Australian native and celebrated artist Del Kathryn Barton makes my heart sing. Her powerful works explore the intricacies of nature and the complexities of the human condition. Del is best known for her 2008 Archibald prize winning work titled "You are what is most beautiful about me, a self portrait with Kell and Arella", but for someone like me, who devours her artworks as if they really are made up of life giving magic, its hard to choose a favourite. Her work shown here "or make myself a space to inhabit too" is a perfect example of her talents. Soft and strong all rolled into one. Inspiring.
