About the artist

Pia a still life and landscape painter based in Perth, Australia. Working primarily with acrylic paints on wooden and canvas surfaces, she likes to capture everyday objects, Australian landscapes and the unique character of animals. She has been mentored by professional artists as well as self-taught.

Pia enjoys playing with colour, painting interesting textures and surfaces and using a contemporary style to produce modern works.

Her path to becoming a professional artist was anything but expected. After many years working in healthcare, life changed direction when the arrival of her significantly disabled child required her to step back from career and studies. Art became both a refuge and a lifeline—an essential outlet for expression, healing, and rediscovering her own identity beyond circumstance.

Painting grew from quiet therapy into a renewed sense of purpose. With the support of local galleries and community arts organisations, my work has been exhibited across Perth, including recent recognition as a competition finalist. Many online sales have seen my work travel to homes across Australia and internationally.
