Cherie Brown

I am lucky to live in the Yarra Valley, Wurundjeri Country, where the landscape is inspiring in itself, surrounded by Watts River, Donnelleys Weir, Badger Weir, Maroondah Dam and wineries lining the Maroondah Highway.  Healesville is a beautiful, picturesque town to live and provides plenty of opportunities of colour and light.

I am inspired by and paint from raw emotion, my paintings are not planned, they come to life organically, every mark made just being in the moment.

Using acrylics with layers of paint make a love of texture.  Painting abstract landscapes and faces, I have a deep respect for our history and indigenous culture.

I wish to acknowledge the traditional owners of this land – the Wurundjeri people.  Paying respect to elders past, present and emerging.  Honouring the spirits of our ancestors who have nurtured this land for thousands of years.  Together we walk gently on this land.
