Notes IV
Agnes had her first Solo Painting Exhibition, at
the Cotham Gallery 101 in Kew in November
2002. She paints under the name of Agili, and
her works often include a small Seahorse
hidden in the composition.
After studying with artists such as Alan
Close, Nell Frysteen and Walter Magilton,
she developed her own style, with which
to produce unusual paintings, for the
enjoyment of buyers.
Although primarily a watercolorist, Agnes likes
to work in acrylic, oil, pastels and ink. She
believes that practicing in all mediums, allows
her to develop skills and techniques, to use in
the creation of her own unique works of art.
Agnes wanted to come up with some unusual
and unique paintings that would make a lasting
impression on viewers.
She has developed a special interest in mixed
media paintings, incorporating multicolored
material layers, silk, ribbons and various
fabrics and beads, for a three dimensional
effect for cityscapes, sky-lined against rich,
vibrant watercolor skies. In particular her
watercolors can take up of fourteen layers of
carefully applied individual hues. Agnes’s use of
watercolor washes has received local, regional,
national and international recognition.

favorite city, Melbourne, to capture the
different times of day and the colors
that the city displays, to guide her
interpretation of city scenes. She has also
produced mixed media creations of other
cities for commissioned works.
Agnes uses pigment to achieve moody
dynamic skies and textures, for colorful
buildings, to support her message, her
paintings convey the time of day and the
atmosphere of the city in a very different
way from that normally seen in artistic
interpretations.
She works with different media and materials
to produce vitally different Abstracts, Still Life,
Landscapes and Floral paintings. Some of these
are shown on this web-site.
Her paintings have been well accepted in
private and corporate collections, in Germany,
Italy and Japan. She has traveled to La Palma
in the Canary Islands, Malaysia, Canada and
South Africa, Argentina, England, Germany, Italy,
Switzerland and the Ex-Yugoslavia.
