Exhibition Title : The Art of Becoming

Guided by instinct and emotion, this exhibition explores an intuitive and ever-evolving creative practice. Each work is shaped by the mood of the moment and the medium.

Animals, wildflowers and landscapes take shape through shifting colours and textures. Rather than following a single theme, the works reflect an ongoing process of discovery, with each piece developing in its own direction.

Across the two walls, larger works anchor the space with their energy and presence, while smaller pieces invite moments of softness and reflection. Together, the works reveal a sense of creative freedom, where intuition leads and possibility takes shape.

About the Artist – Mary Ann Fox:

Mary Ann Fox is a painter whose work draws inspiration from the natural world and everyday life.

Working across charcoal, pastels, acrylics and oils, Mary Ann combines elements of abstraction and realism, often bringing multiple mediums together on a single canvas. Her return to painting later in life was nurtured through lessons with Peter and Mary Petruccelli at their Beaconsfield studio.

Mary Ann continues to explore the possibilities of painting, developing her practice through different materials and approaches.
