Contact us about personal payment plans and Layby.
Kristine Ballard is a Sydney-based artist specialising in expressive paint and sumptuous colour. She draws inspiration from everyday subjects and locations. With a focus on still life, interiors, and landscapes, she transforms her encounters into joyful compositions that glow from within. Themes of tenacity and splendour in both the natural environment and the human condition inform her subject matter. Her dynamic paintings also explore subjects of the ‘everyday’ and the often-overlooked. Her palettes focus on the effects of optical colour to reveal its empowering effect on our wellbeing. Ballard wants her works to act as a portal, helping others reclaim colour back into their lives.
‘‘There are forces all around us that will try and take the colour from your life, and fragment your positivity. But that’s why it’s so important to paint these works. They are my stand for keeping the bright, the light in the world.” - Kristine Ballard.
‘Little Survivors’ is the first in a new series titled ‘Garden Variety’. This artwork acknowledges the importance of celebrating the smallest of everyday growth and the quiet resilience of life. In these prehistoric-inspired pots, cacti thrive — a playful reminder that even ancient forms can spark new growth.
