Rachael Comisari is an Australian artist currently living on the mid north coast. Her early work was involved with design and photography, however her artistic development has led her to focus on abstract painting.

Artist Statement

I was born in Sydney, Australia in 1960 and attended Canterbury Girls High School where I majored in art. I continued an interest in the arts and developed a love for imagery and design through photography and stained glass window design. I completed Visual Arts Certificate 11 at Southern Cross Campus, Coffs Harbour in 1999 and went on to further study with Peter Griffin, Nicholas Daunt & David Cox. My artwork involves the process of layering thin glazes of acrylic paint and is dependent on design fundamentals: form, color, and composition as the painting emerges the elements merge into one to express energy and spirit.

I believe the most complex emotions can be evoked from the simplest of forms and think how the viewer interprets the painting becomes the reality for that person. I would be reluctant to interject another perspective.
