Cairns Artist Petra Meikle de Vlas is represented by many local Galleries as listed on her website. She has her work licensed nationally and international with many companies for Canvas Art Prints, as listed on her website. She welcomes studio showroom visits for those who make appointments. https://www.petrameikledevlas.com/ Inspired by the waters around her, Petra creates mixed media works in her coastal studio around 15 nautical miles from the magnificent Great Barrier Reef, in Holloway's beach 10 minutes north of Cairns City. She rarely follows conventional art methods and has developed techniques that creates different effects to closely resemble reef and ocean like formations. The texture is the exposed reef and rocks, the water is the liquid paint, the spray bottle is the force of nature like rain, the hairdryer is the wind, the blowtorch is the sun, the gravity (tilting the board this way and that) is the tide.
