ZOE SERNACK

Zoe Sernack's imagined landscapes reflect the forms of nature above and below the surface, weaving together observation, memory and sensory experiences of place.

She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The National Art School and has exhibited for over 25 years. She has been a finalist in the Fisher's Ghost Award, Hornsby Art Award, Gosford Art Award, Into the Light Art Award and the Lethbridge 20000 Art Award.

A keen observer, she is often found sketching plants in Sydney gardens and parks. Working on timber boards, she uses a delicate colour palette, carving and textural mark-making to capture the rhythms of the Australian bush seen with the eyes and felt with the heart.

“I am constantly fascinated by the intelligence of the natural world, its networks below the earth’s surface and the flourishing compositions we see above the ground. I’m grateful that I can be inspired by the Australian landscape and its prolific botanicals.” ZS
