Ep. 59. Adriane Strampp

Adriane’s is a fascinating journey. She was born in the United States and educated in the UK before settling in Australia.

She brings the effect of that peripatetic life to her work. Her work is defined by its sensitivity to light, memory and place. Interiors soaked in soft light, distant landscapes, objects held in suspension.

We talked about her fabulously eclectic group of subjects she’s explored in her art including horses, dresses, landscapes, interiors, still lifes and the thread which weaves itself through all of them.

She has held more than 30 solo exhibitions around Australia and internationally and has been selected as a finalist multiple times for a number of awards including the Sulman, Dobell, Calleen, Ravenswood, Len Fox and Adelaide Perry.

And alongside her studio practice, Adriane has also made a profound contribution as a teacher. She is also the Founder and Director of the Fitzroy Painting Studio which has had probably thousands of students through its doors.
