KAREN McPHEE

EDUCATION

1990-1992       Bachelor Visual Arts (Glass Major with High Distinction)             Sydney College of the Arts Sydney University 

Glass, a multi-functional material works as a vehicle to reveal, but as a medium afford the quality of light.

With sheet glass as my canvas, I explore the medium’s inherent qualities of transparency, translucency and opacity through technical approach and application.

Observation of the Australian natural environment, the effect of light and movement and the subtle intricacies detailing texture and colour is investigated within my art in appreciation of the visual impact and rugged character of this land of dramatic contrast.
