What's On

Leonora Howlett is a senior Australian artist who explores the principles of colour, line and pattern in a career spanning five decades.

Leonora paints Sydney Harbour scenes, waterside life – the quiet bays and panoramas, the boatyards, ferries, lighthouses, rocks and sea using mediums such as oil, watercolour, ink and wash. As an artist, Leonora has continually explored abstract painting as a form of visual communication.

Most recently, Leonora’s work includes a fusion of soft-edged geometric shapes with a more organic, painterly response. She was a founding member of the Imitation Realists and was at the forefront of adapting the geometric beauty of Islamic art in the creation of a contemporary modern aesthetic.

Committed to the pursuit of authentic expression, Leonora balances artistic skill with intuitive response.
