Studio Visit: Ash Holmes

Ash Holmes is a Sydney-based artist who draws on colour psychology and her environment, Guringai Land, for an everevolving source of inspiration in her abstract paintings. Often working large-scale canvases with acrylic paint, her gestural mark-making draws on the simplicity of nature.

“In my studio I work in solitude, it gives me time to reflect and express myself in a flow like state. I enjoy making a mess and coming back to it each day to create, time stops when I’m in the studio and I’m able to expand on my practice with that space.”
