We are so honoured to be featured in The Design Files alongside the incredible artist Llael McDonald, whose work we will be showcasing at this years’ Melbourne Affordable Art Fair .

Just two weeks from now we will be bringing some of Llael’s moody and nostalgic elevations of the seemingly ordinary to the Royal Exhibition Building for your chance to purchase. 

Llael’s early influences were Jeffrey Smart and Edward Hopper and in later years her work has evolved into what we see today. Llael cites the Flemish masters and Pre Raphaelites as a major influence on her work. She has sold her work into private and corporate collections in New York, Miami, France, UK and Australia, and now has a studio in the Victorian highlands where she continues her painting practices, exhibitions and teaches private painting workshops.

The Design Files describes her still life paintings as ‘Masterpieces’, citing her ‘expert technique’ and ‘eye for detail’ as the basis of her ability to turn everyday imagery into something with an inherent timelessness to it.

If you can’t make it to the fair, or are too captivated by Llael’s emotive and thought-provoking work to wait you can purchase pieces through our website here.
