Nell Symonds
Nell was raised in the south west of W.A. Living in small towns with strong
communities and spending her time largely outdoors. Whether in the native
bush, learning to discern the difference between Jarrah or Red Gums, or by
the ocean.
Nell predominately worked in graphite and charcoal in her 20s. Traveling
extensively called for a creative practice that was light on the luggage. After a
tumultuous early 30s of loss and recovery, Nell found time to explore her
creativity once again.
Nell is now a wife and mother to two teenage stepsons and a 5 year old boy.
These new roles have changed her perspective on life and herself. Developing
calmness and cultivating the patience required for long hours refining the practice of oil painting.
