Sandi Rigby: Artist and Traveller
04 - 26 March 2017

 

I am passionate about my art and enjoy working with etching, drawing, painting and making Artist Books. I find my art wonderfully rewarding, ...sometimes exasperating and totally addictive.

A graduate of the National Art School, and the Sydney Gallery School, Sandi Rigby has been a recipient of the Broken Hill Regional Gallery's Outback Works on Paper Art Award, The Geelong Regional Gallery Print Prize and the Hazelhurst Regional Gallery Works on Paper Award amongst others.

Sandi Rigby has been awarded the Artist in Residency at the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Venice, the Daniel & Anne Pata Residency in Paris and most recently the Gullisktan Art Residency, Laugarvatn, Iceland.

In this exhibition, Artist and traveller, Sandi Rigby communicates the mood of her subjects and the places visited with colour, pattern and detail in beautifully executed paintings, drawings, and artist prints often utilising the multiple layering of etched plates to capture both realistically and conceptually her experiences of her personal journeying.

Of her recent residency in Iceland at Gullkistan, Laugarvatn, Sandi Rigby described it as a wonderful experience out in the country on a sheep farm with great facilities for artists, and a landscape like nothing else on earth.
