Danielle Creenaune

Danielle combines inherited and imagined landscapes sourcing imagery from Western Europe and Danielle’s native Australia. As a recurrent concern in Australian art, to address notions of artistic and personal identity through large scale landscape painting, Danielle’s landscapes are atypically intimate. In the etching Border, she creates the landscape by intricately outlining the overgrown trees and shrubbery, leaving both the trees and the space between, empty. Her lithographs have a painterly quality and are graceful and intriguing. She responds intuitively to each landscape and conveys it though a varied language of marks and tone. These prints are rhythmic, which reflects the changing seasons and the movement of water. Danielle describes her work as being about “memory, private connection and sense of belonging.”
