Adrienne began her painting career at the Julian Ashton School of Art , when it's home was in great warehouse-studios overlooking Sydney Harbour. She travelled to Italy to continue her studies, and then on to London, where she studied painting and textile design at the Central School of Art, and where she has lived ever since.

Adrienne has never stopped painting and designing, but it was only when she became a member of the Fountain Gallery four years ago that she began exhibiting her work on a regular basis. She also shows at the Landmark Arts Trust and takes part in Surrey Open Studio exhibitions.

As well as in the U.K., her work is in private collections in a number of countries, including Australia, the United States, Spain and India.

At the end of May, Adrienne has a new exhibition, shared with painter Jim Woodman, photographer Lin Osborn, and sculptor Paul Baden.

In this exhibition Adrienne's work continues to be inspired by her trip to Australia at the end of 2006. "I found the work of many Aboriginal artists both inspiring and very moving" she says."Not only for the ability to convey their story, but also the beauty of their images".

Adrienne's new work - oils on canvas - reflects her fascination with 'mark-making', not in the style of the Aboriginal painters, but as an instinctive means of expression in itself. "I have explored some of the kinds of marks that it is possible to use, in order to build up a series of abstract images."
