Maria Parmenter's paintings explore memories of local coastal landscapes, using colour and expression to capture moments in time. Taking inspiration from her environment on Kaurna land, Parmenter's works feature expressive brushwork and warm subtle colour palettes to explore the ever-changing nature of the coastal light and environment, whilst exploring notions of memory and change. Typically working in acrylics and oils on canvas, her semi abstracted seascapes allude to notions of familiarity countered by the mystery of the unknown.
