Contemporary’s ongoing Live in Design competition will give you the opportunity to collect a number of covetable design pieces over time. For their first offering, Contemporary has teamed up with esteemed Perth artist Genevieve Montgomerie, whose captivating portrayals of Western Australia’s coastline have won hearts locally, nationally and abroad.
Her paintings will have you doing a double take to ensure they’re not photographs, while her easy going nature makes you want to instantly sign up for one of her classes. One thing is for certain; artist Genevieve Montgomerie’s flawless depiction of the magic of Western Australia’s coastline will leave you captivated.
Once described as ‘technically traditional with a refreshing twist on the realist’, Montgomerie has carved a career out of capturing the beauty and essence of the iconic West Australian coastline.
