Bronwyn Barton

Since moving to the Sunshine Coast in 2015 and becoming a full-time artist shortly thereafter, Bronwyn’s work has been deeply influenced by her surroundings. Living on a bush acreage property, she finds inspiration in the landscape, aiming to capture not just the trees and plants but also the spaces in between - encouraging viewers to look deeper into what lies beyond.

Bronwyn has a particular affinity for still life, often featuring pots and unique vessels in her paintings. Her goal is to give these everyday objects a sense of life and personality, employing the same layering process that informs her other work.

Bronwyn dedicated several years to mastering printmaking techniques and exploring mosaics, both of which have shaped her painting style.
Attending life drawing classes has also played a crucial role, giving her the confidence to engage with her work in new ways, whether by drawing back into the paint or using unconventional tools to reveal underlying layers.


Bronwyn’s achievements include:
- Finalist Bluethumb Art Prize - 2021, 2022, 2023
- Finalist Art Lovers Art Prize - 2021
- Winner 2D Art Prize, Ecclectica Exhibition, Butter - Factory Arts Centre Cooroy, 2019, 2020
- Runner Up Still Life, Ecclectica Exhibition, Butter - Factory Arts Centre Cooroy, 2023

Process

Bronwyn’s artistic process is an evolving practice that she is deeply passionate about, guiding her work every day.

After exploring different art mediums such as watercolour, oil and cold wax medium, Bronwyn found that acrylic paint was the best suited to her process of layering paint and creating the marks that felt intuitive to her. It dries quickly which allows Bronwyn to work fast without creating muddiness and create the layers and spontaneity that she loves.
