Darling River Country: Jade Millard
Artist Statement
Her abstract depictions of the landscape are passionate
in stroke, simplifying forms and expressing her spiritual connection with the earth.
Gaining a spiritual connection to the landscape is
critical to Millard's practice, as she states, “Flying, driving, walking across
and 'being in' the landscape provides me with the whole feel and character of
our ancient environment. I just capture a moment of it into a painting for
you.”
Millard's paintings and drawings share with you an
emotional piece of the landscape. A still piece of beauty captured in time.

Artist statement
I am a self taught artist. I started painting full-time 4 years ago when I retired. I use a lot of texture in my painting and my love of colour is well known. I enjoy painting Australiana, animals, faces and landscapes. My paintings are sold with a “Certificate of Authenticity”. All artwork is one of a kind, original work.

Nature’s
Kaleidoscope
Artist statement
My artistic journey.
I have always loved to be creative but did not
pursue painting passionately until in my late 40’s when I completed a course in
drawing and painting at MADEC Mildura and learnt to paint with watercolours. I
pursued this for a few years then stopped painting for around 15 years and have
only taken in up again in the last two years. I changed to Acrylics for I love
their boldness and versatility.
Inspiration.
I am mainly inspired by the colours and textures of Nature.
I just paint as I see things and try to include
detail and am happy at times to leave feint little paint blobs, dribbles and
brush strokes that can be visible in my work as I like the subdued textural
effect.
My painting aim is to create something to let the
mind relax and connect with the subject on the canvas evoking a sense of
pleasure.
