Mirella Prolongeau

Come and see my new body of works Above and Beyond Exhibition; exploring the landscape of the South West Region. My love for the ocean, rocks and people will be shown through colour and beauty.

I have enjoyed art ever since I can remember, giving drawings away as a gift to family and friends was something I have done from a young age. I have studied fine arts on and off throughout my life, but I am mainly self-taught. Since moving to Margaret River in 2010 I have taken the time to harness my skills.

“My love for art has been evident throughout my life however since moving to Margaret River it has become unleashed.”

My works are significant to the surrounding landscapes I have seen through my life or moments that relate to a feeling of being free and alive. Staying present in the moment is difficult to maintain at times and I like to focus on the important things in life - looking after yourself mentally and physically.

I explore beauty through nature, narrative and movement. Creating works on a variety of scales using acrylics inks and charcoal developing a free flow process with acrylics of the landscape.

“I will forever be searching for a new way to express my feelings, memories and the way I see the world through art”.
