Chloe Wilder

Chloe Wilder is a Margaret River painter who uses bright colours to focus on the modern female portrait.

In her large scale oil paintings, Chloe attempts to connect with women who display an air of strength and hunts down faces on social media.

While working in marine research, Chole found solace in painting weathered road signs into vibrant expressions of creativity. She enrolled in the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and developed a style that explored the female portrait and the intimate connection between artist and muse. Wilder uses vivid and detailed painting techniques in conjunction with ancestral crafts like weaving and ceramics to explore the role of women within nature and history. This year she’s even hosting painting and basket weaving workshops at her studio in Margaret River town.
