ARTIST PROFILE

Sigrid Patterson

The ancient art of floriography.

​

An award winning artist based in the hinterland of Byron Bay, many of Sigrid’s pieces embrace the story telling power of flowers.

​

Sigrid’s paintings represent social commentary on issues such as the environment, diversity, inclusion, and the building of strong communities though, at other times, her paintings are for the pure beauty that she sees in the subjects.

Her work represents hope, resilience and courage to build a bright future together. She often includes reflective surfaces encouraging the viewer to reflect on the stories within, and shadows, to take the viewer on a journey of what lies behind.

​

Sigrid’s work embodies stories of our times, of our generations. They are urgent, are sad, are happy and joyous, have beauty and are full of resilience and courage. She aims to encourage a wider audience to respond to these themes.

​​Sigrid is experienced in several mediums though always comes back to favourites - painting big and bold in oils and acrylics.

​

All flowers and plants used in Sigrid's paintings are grown, not flown.
