Zoe Willey

Zoe Willey is an emerging artist working on Kabi Kabi (Gubbi Gubbi) Country on the Sunshine Coast. She currently works primarily in oil paint, employing a painterly style at the intersection of Impressionism and realism. A strong interest in portraiture has formed the foundation of her practice, where her core objective is capturing the intangible essence of a subject whilst remaining truthful to physical form. She approaches still life, landscapes and ‘house portraits’ with the same philosophy. Zoe’s landscapes often explore the relationship between built and natural environments, interwoven with themes of nostalgia and identity. Her still life work seeks to elevate the mundane, celebrating the understated beauty found within small scenes and quiet moments.
