ARTIST PROFILE

Mavonny was born with creativity in her soul, and artistic expression has been a constant in her life.

​

She grew up in the Wheatbelt town of Kalannie, the first child in the third generation of a farming family. At 16, she took to the sky for the first time in her dad’s Cessna 210 – and was immediately enthralled by the abstract patterns created by nature. Nature's palette resonated with her love for colour and patterns.

Time spent flying over the Kimberley with its big blue skies, red pindan, turquoise waters, and peachy pink cream and sandy beaches permeated her very being, and she made a pledge to her adolescent self that one day she would have her own art exhibition that would capture the essence of Western Australia’s vibrant colours.

She went on to travel the world – living in San Francisco, London, Melbourne and Sydney before returning to Perth to enjoy successful careers in creative fields.

​

As 2020 approached she decided it was time to deliver on the promise she had made to her young self – to curate and exhibit a collection of original pieces of her work.

The result is ‘Natures palette: a view from above WA’.
