Artist Bio: Rose Handke |
|
I am an Adealide Hills based artist having previously studied drawing and painting at the Adelaide Central School of Art. My pevious work was commissioned pet portraits in soft pastels and my current work is human portraiture in oil paints. I like to work from different points of view and favour close up detailed subjects. Working in oil paints I start tonally then build up colour and light. My work explores the concepts of identity, beauty and relationships. I have participated in several group exhibitions at The Adelaide Central School gallery, Pepper Street art gallery and the Mt Barker Community gallery and have won a number of Best Exhibit and People's Choice awards in regional shows. My work is held in private collections through out Australia, Hong Kong and the USA. |
