artist statement

Rather than ‘framing Nature’, Elaine Green’s work has always resonated the 19th century Romantic notion of elevating landscape painting to a metaphysical level. It is seen as the extension of an inner sense of being, a place where Nature and Self are fused. The difference between the observer and the observed is subsumed in a boundless luminosity. “Like all artists I am constantly seeking the light,” she reflects. “The troposphere, constantly in motion, provides never-ending inspiration and challenges to capture that light and the changing moods of the environment.”

Only very recently Elaine moved her abode away from the northern NSW region with its early morning vistas of mist-enshrouded forests and peaks. She now lives in Stanley, a little fishing village on the North West coast of Tasmania.

Elaine Green has a degree in visual arts from Southern Cross University and studied Fine Arts at Murwillumbah TAFE. Primarily a landscape artist, her works are influenced in part by her Scottish-English heritage.  Over the last few years Elaine has received a number of awards, been a finalist in Sunshine Coast Art Prize, SHE Art Prize, Eutick Memorial Still Life Awards, Len Fox Art Prize, and was privileged last year to be accepted for an Artists Residency at Tweed River Art Gallery. “It is the essence and the energy I am attempting to portray, my interest is in what lies beyond the mist. By blurring and blending I allow the paint to create the atmosphere, losing the detail to reveal the story.”
