Justine D'Anvers:
Painter

Picture
Picture


​Over the past few years I have taken a dive inwards with my painting, deconstructing and critiquing myself and the stories I have told.
​

​I am part of an art group that feeds, challenges and critiques my thought process which in turn feeds my painting practise. 




My experience of painting is now more an exploration with an unknown destination rather than an organised tour with a clear itinerary.
 
I often get up at 4am to fit painting into my life around our three kids, my husband, administration for our family business and household duties. I commandeered part of our shed for my studio, continually zigzagging my way back there in spite of convincing distractions.
 
My 4am shifts, the percentage of my thought allocated to painting, and the rigorous enquiry and critique from peers, give me confidence to say that these days I am more than a hobbyist painter. It seems that the more layers of paint I apply to canvas, the more layers I have unravelled off myself, slowly revealing myself to myself, and knowing more about who I am and how I fit into the world.
