Phoebe Stone – Special Release

Phoebe Stone is a self-taught Sydney/Cammeraygal based artist working in predominantly in oil pastels. She has had works in numerous group shows and her work is held in many private collections both locally in Australia and Internationally. She won the 2022 Lane Cove Art award in the division of Drawing & Mixed Media. 

Phoebe works with oil pastels to explore the beauty and delight to be found in a well balanced coming together of composition, colour, pattern and texture. Scenes of the domestic, whether food or the accoutrement of daily life, are drawn and drawn again in her signature urgency; impatient to see their pleasing forms and arrangements take shape. For Phoebe, her practice is not just about the realisation and completion of a final piece but the process and meditation of her hand moving intuitively across a surface bringing a moment or a feeling to life.
