Abstract and Expressive – Visually Enticing. Adding excitement and life to any room or space.
Living on the Sunshine Coast (Queensland, Australia) I am fortunate to be surrounded by everything beautiful. Beaches, hinterlands, urban and rural spaces abound, and the plethora of gorgeous wildlife that we share this space with is amazing.
I have been painting for many years, but have made more time for myself to spend creating in the last few years. With this extra commitment I have seen growth and development, both in my work and in myself, and as such I have become more confident in 'putting my work out there'.
I am always delighted to learn that my work has resonated with someone else who has either commented or purchased. Whilst I am always painting for my own pleasure, it is a lovely thing to know that I am also bringing pleasure to others. It is an honour to know that I have works hanging in other people's spaces that are bringing them joy.
Whilst I have enjoyed some success winning prizes and accolades in competitions and exhibitions along the way, I am always primarily painting for my own enjoyment, which I hope in turn might also bring enjoyment to others. I believe that when you make your honest art that it will speak to ‘your’ people and that they will understand the where and why of what you have created.
I thank you for visiting my page, and hope that you too might find something that you would enjoy having in your space. If you would like to reach out to me for any reason, please feel free to email at felicity.rutherford.art@gmail.com
Thank you.

Abstract and Expressive – Visually Enticing.
Adding excitement and life to any room or space.
I have been painting for many years, and have sold works both nationally and internationally. My works often tend toward a landscape theme, but are quite abstract in style.
I like to experiment with all kinds of mediums and mark-making within the context of an acrylic painting. I mostly work on canvas, however do also work on paper and board. I enjoy letting the paint and mark-making create the base which I can then intuitively respond to and expand upon.
I never start a painting with any preconceived ideas of what I would like it to be, or where it might end up. This ‘not knowing’ keeps me stimulated and interested, and provides the opportunity to create with freedom and playfulness. Each and every work is a puzzle to be solved, and each has its own unique journey.
