From the organiser
A series of framed composite digital works by Brenda Runnegar representing pets and favourite animals as majestic figures in historical paintings.
These anthropomorphic images are derived from photographs which Runnegar has taken of pets and animals, which she has endeavoured to match with appropriate historical early American Folk Painting.
As a Multimedia artist Brenda Runnegar specialises in painting, sculpture, photography and textiles. Her forty-odd year-long practice is characterised by the use of the surreal and dreamlike.
She completed a Master of Fine Arts by research in 2007 and has worked professionally as an Educator, Arts Administrator, Gallery Manager and Project Manager in the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors. Since 1981 she has exhibited in numerous prestigious group exhibitions and has had eighteen solo exhibitions.
Her most recent work has involved experiments with digital imaging.
