BIO

Shyanne Clarke is a multidisciplinary artist. Clarke explores marks and fluidity in her work, animating paint and line to tell a layered story. Inspired by the Romantic Sublime era, Clarke has currently been using the sea as a faithful subject matter to capture its essence and human connectedness. Her works are expressive, moody, have movement though stagnant. Her fascination with the ocean stems from growing up by its waves, acknowledging its story beginning before us and continuing long after us. Clarke has exhibited regularly in group shows since 2020 as well as a solo show, Linger, at CA Gallery in 2022. Clarke is a teacher of fine art at Art School Co. on the Sunshine Coast.
