Pendlebury, Narelle

Narelle is an established West Australian artist with a background in Fine Arts and Art Education, who has been exhibiting as a professional artist for over 30 years within Western Australia and interstate. Her work is represented by several galleries within WA, and is held in many corporate and private collections throughout Australia and overseas.

Narelle  works in many mediums and has developed a practice which fuses and extends the processes and disciplines of drawing, printmaking, painting and textiles, with an emphasis on the interplay of surface, material and texture. An integral part of her work is the concept and activity of layering – dyed, printed and painted materials, often transparent and translucent, are stitched and embellished with embossed shims and printed surfaces. Acrylic and oil media are then subtley layered over these pieces to create highly worked and jewel-like surfaces.
