About Anne Farrell
Anne Farrell was born and works in Perth, Western Australia. Anne studied at Claremont School of Art and went on to obtain a Bachelor of Fine Art from Curtin University and now divides her time between her art practice and her work as an art educator.
Fundamentally a portrait painter, Anne regularly exhibits in public painting exhibitions and has exhibited in several group and solo exhibitions in Perth since 2000. Her work is held in private collections nationally and internationally.
About Kevin Robertson
Kevin Robertson was born in Norseman, Western Australia, in 1964. He studied painting at the Western Australian Institute of Technology (Curtin University), graduating with a BA in 1984. He was awarded a Master of Arts from the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales in 1992 and a Doctorate from Curtin University in 2018. He has a consistent practice as a painter and previously exhibited extensively at Galerie Dusseldorf, Perth, and participated in numerous group exhibitions nationally and internationally.
Kevin's paintings engage directly with the natural environment. His work zooms in and out from the micro to the macro, from close-up meteorite landscapes to the vast spaces of the desert. Looking at geological perspectives and then to atmospherics in his cloud studies, billions of years of geological time are counterpoised with the transient movement of clouds.
Kevin Robertson's work is represented in many public and private collections including Artbank, the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Wesfarmers, Bankwest, The University of Western Australia, Murdoch University, Kerry Stokes Collection, Janet Holmes à Court Collection.
Kevin is a valued active member of Art Collective WA as both an artist and a board member.
