Myra made numerous drawings and reference photos on location. When she returned to her studio in Australia, she developed these initial ideas into works on canvas. This creative process of being inspired by a particular place or a scene and then fully realising it back in the studio, is typical of this artist’s practise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn contrast, the café scene drawings were only envisaged as being drawings in their own\u003cbr\u003eright without, the intention of going beyond her sketchbooks. These drawings were part of a mindful morning ritual of making observations of the world around her while she enjoyed a coffee that kickstarted her day. Myra has used a variety of media to depict the familiarity of the café scenario.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the artist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMyra Staffa is a graduate of Curtin University where she obtained a BA Vis Art, Assoc Fine Art followed by post graduate Dip Ed from STC.
