The Velvet Shawl I (Pledge)

Artist's Statement: Amber-Jayne Stirling said her paintings of women draped in cloth and colourful still life's of flowers and fruit have a distinctly feminine feel. A fascination with the beauty and sensuality of flowers and fruit has, for many years, inspired Stirling's paintings. It was the textures and delicacy of the forms, the luscious hues, dramatic contours and the allure of ripe, juicy flesh that inspired her latest works.

In 2005 she was commission by Australia Post to create a painting of the Madonna and Child, which is held in their archives.

Amber-Jayne has conducted many workshops in drawing and painting for both adults and children, and individuals with physical disabilities.

She returned to her beloved Italy in 2009/10 for more inspiration, and found love.
