Phoebe Stone
Phoebe Stone is a self-taught, Sydney based artist working predominantly in oil pastels to explore the beauty and delight to be found in a well balanced coming together of composition, colour, pattern and texture.
Scenes of the domestic, whether food or the accoutrement of daily life, are drawn and drawn again in her signature urgency; impatient to see their pleasing forms and arrangements take shape.
Phoebe works intuitively and allows the unique process of making each piece to have as much relevance as the composition and colour stories themselves. Phoebe celebrates organic mark making; smudges, incidental colour mixing, imperfect lines and all.

Maggie Beer's Pavlova with Dried Apricots and Roasted Almonds
Phoebe's dreamy take on Maggie Beer's festive Dried Apricot Pavlova, capturing the cook's warmth in oranges hued oil pastels.
Phoebe has conjured a warm and nostalgic scene where the billowy pavlova takes centre stage, covered with soft whipped cream, dried apricots and roasted almonds. Maggie's favourite flowers—orange roses—are perched in the background.
