I will go quietly, Annie O'Rourke art

Annie O'Rourke is an artist living and working in Brisbane, Australia. 

Her work reveals an enduring interest in the human figure and its relationship to its environment, with recent bodies of work exploring the depiction of women in Australian visual culture and the creation of cultural myths. The pencil under-drawings remain an integral part of the work, revealing the processes of making and the constructed nature of imagery. 

Annie's work We live in a beautiful country has been included in TRACE 2019, a festival which takes artworks out of the gallery and into novel settings around West End. The work is available for auction at traceart.com.au
