Bronwyn van de Graaff

Australia

Born 1964

Born in Sydney and now living in Avoca Beach, NSW, with her family, Bronwyn practised as a criminal lawyer before becoming a full-time painter in 2012. For many years, Bronwyn has been painting botanical and natural history subjects from life. Her paintings are highly observed and detailed and aim to have a richness of depth, colour and luminosity which is created by applying many thin layers of glazing. She also specialises in still life oil paintings inspired by the Dutch Renaissance and highly detailed paintings and drawings of flora, fauna, in particular feathers, cacti and sea creatures. Bronwyn was awarded a Gold Medal at the RHS in 2004.
