Inta Archer

My personal enjoyment comes from mixing rich, vibrant oils and applying them to the canvas with a palette knife.

The aim is to borrow and capture the light, colour and texture from the sustaining pleasures of nature which are an endless inspiration to me to evoke a pleasing atmosphere or emotion in my paintings.

Although unremarkable and with no formal art training, this strong urge to paint has taken on a wonderful journey over thirty-five years. I have been lucky to receive a few awards at various exhibitions and also sales which keep the art supplies stocked.

I love to paint and enjoy this hobby immensely, also meeting like minded people who are a great source of discussion, learning and inspiration. The Impressionists I admire greatly, my favourite being Cezanne.

I was born in Latvia but Australia is definitely my home since we arrived in 1951.
