Collection: Steffie Wallace

Steffie Wallace is a Melbourne based Australian landscape painter who has been painting and exhibiting atmospheric landscapes for over three decades. Her work is represented by galleries both locally and overseas and is held in numerous collections.

Steffie says “As a visual artist, my main artistic influences are from Turner and the Australian Impressionists, with my paintings featuring dramatic skies highlighting fleeting climatic changes and contrasting light”.

Steffie employs a limited colour palette to achieve her atmospheric artistic effects. She “chooses to portray the landscape in transitory weather situations dominated by dramatic skies with contrasting light providing the main focus. My work reflects the unpredictability of nature with the emphasis on transitory experience, paralleling our own fleeting existence and the relativity of our significance within the natural environment”

Steffie is also a writer and has republished her novel 'The August Months', in 2017 which deals with addiction and recovery. The book features two artists among the main characters. Copies of 'August Months' can be purchased online.
