- Perry Snodgrass's
paintings have a narrative theme and are very personal ... based on her home, family and life
experiences.
- Her influences include childhood on a dairy farm, a career as a colourist for a firm of commercial photographers in Sydney where she
worked with the top photographers and graphic designers of the day,
David Moore, Max Dupain and Gordon Andrews. She moved on to a life
on the canefields in North Queensland; a successful corporate life
in her own catering and events design company in Sydney then in her
travel firm dealing exclusively with France. She has lived her
passions of food and France and art.
- Perry has practiced full time as an artist for the last ten
years. She has exhibited in
the Convent Gallery, Pantechnicon, Impressions Gallery and Hill End
Gallery all in Daylesford, Tin Shed Gallery in Malmsbury and the
Woollahra Times Gallery in Sydney. Her colourful work has also
appeared on wine labels and greeting cards.
- She has now moved to Adelaide where she has just completed an
Associate Visual Arts Degree at the Adelaide Central School of Art
and has exhibited a new series of
imaginative paintings entitled 'Harajuki Girls' in the ARIspace@209 gallery
in Melbourne Street, North Adelaide.

Her paintings are usually in oil and/or acrylic on canvas. Always vibrant with colour.
The style is narrative. The narrative themes include stories of an
extensive family, of travels - especially France and Italy, stories
from imagination - the whimsical nuns series, stories about shapes -
the studies of rooftops in various cities, stories about form - the
array of still life, stories of people at work and play- always set in a
larger landscape |
