ABOUT THE ARTIST

Madeline Clear's work has always been a response to my environment. It is observation based and in the process of working she seeks to give greater meaning to the awareness of light which holds great fascination for her. Whether it is natural light in the landscape or light falling on objects, Madeline likes to concern herself with what it reveals. Natural light is for me a metaphor for spiritual light. Following her studies she spent time painting and working with Tiwi artists on Bathurst lsland in the Northern Territory. This was a time of shared learning with very positive outcomes. She started a print workshop which went on to become Tiwi Designs. Madeline met her husband while working there and they started a family. After returning to Western Australia, as well as being a wife, mother and part-time painting teacher with TAFE, she was able to focus again on her own work and hold her first solo exhibition in 1981. For many years Madeline has worked mainly with mixed media using small marks of soft pastel in pure colours over thinly splashed gouache. Although not really pointillism in the true sense, (because of the use of coloured underpainting), the process of buiding an image from accumulated marks has paralells. More recently she has gone back to working on canvas with oils or acrylics.
