Nanette Nebe

Nanette was born and bred in Rockhampton, Queensland. Then she lived for thirteen years in Townsville, North Queensland after marrying Malcolm. While there she also began her administration and bookkeeping training. This has been a huge influence in her life.

Nanette is currently studying at Central Queensland TAFE and is in the final stages of completing her Diploma in Visual Art. She successfully exhibited in The Mill Gallery’s Emerging Artists Exhibition in 2009 and The Brisbane Royal Exhibition in 2009. The NinebyFive Gallery in Fremantle has some of her works for consideration and she has entered a number of art competitions in the local region.

Her creativity is still being explored and developed. The monoprints are developing into intriguing, meaningful, diverse pieces using oils, inks, watercolours and oil pastels on cast-coated paper.

Nanette’s pen and ink drawings usually consist of a combination of intricate lines and dots forming the images or complicated and diverse patterns. Some of these she has converted into screen prints as well.

The collographs have their own significant markings and styles and yet have differences as well. The influences of her teachers to explore new techniques are as extensive and diverse as the use of the tried and true methods of printmaking.

She also does oil painting in traditional and contemporary styles as well as portraiture. Nanette enjoys the challenges of using different approaches on both canvas and board.

Design and colour, faces at different angles, experimenting with mediums and techniques are all very interesting and intriguing to Nanette. They are all so fascinating and such a challenge to try out and attempt to get them to work in different ways and on different surfaces to obtain unique and innovative results. She tries to draw the viewer in, to have a closer look to try to work out how the image has been achieved.
