Pam Tippett
Painter Pam Tippett studied at Studio Simi in Florence Italy between 1977 and 1980. She is a master of still life and portrait painting, her deep appreciation of the objects she chooses to paint and the traditional medium itself is immediately evident in her vibrant and alluring works. Tippett’s remarkable technical skill allows her to create radiant, smooth surfaces without visible brushstrokes. Her highly distinctive works possess a glorious luminosity, rich colour palette and a satisfying simplicity of composition.
Tippett has held solo exhibitions in Melbourne, Sydney and internationally in Italy and France. She was awarded the Elizabeth Greenshields Study Grant in 1978 and won the Eutick Memorial Still Life Award in 2010 and she has been a finalist several times in the Archibald Prize and Portia Geach Memorial Award. Her work is held by several major Australian regional galleries.
