Genny Gadd-Carolan

Genny has studied at some prestigious Art Schools including the Julian Ashton Art School, London Fine Art Studio and Jerusalem Studio School. She has exhibited in Melbourne Galleries since 2015.

‘I am positive being in the Coterie will increase my growth as an artist in many ways, not only in terms of the financial benefits, but also in the mentorship and community. It can be very daunting trying to forge one’s path as an artist alone, so having people around who are on the same journey will be a huge help and comfort. 

As for areas I’d like to develop, I am really focussed this year on getting that balance in my work between reflecting reality in a way that’s true to how I see, while also employing painterly techniques as the great masters did. I don’t want my work to look like a photograph, I want it to look like a painting.’
