Vanessa Wallace

Vanessa is a Brisbane-based artist whose work explores the intersection of still life arrangements and the innate beauty of domestic spaces. With a background in ceramics, developed over several decades of working with clay, Vanessa transitioned to painting a few years ago, finding a new medium that complements her ongoing fascination with decorative vessels, botanicals, and the beauty of the everyday. A passionate collector of ceramics, fabrics, art books, and artworks, Vanessa creates evocative, moody tableaux that blend personal objects with elements drawn from memory, imagination, and inspiration. Through a dynamic interplay of colour, pattern, and form, her compositions capture the vibrancy of everyday life, celebrating the imperfect and the intimate. Each piece is an invitation to pause, reflect, and find beauty in the ordinary.
