About Me

LARRY O’DONNELL is a local Tasmanian artist with an ongoing desire to use unique and different materials in her mixed-media pieces of art, predominantly works of portraiture. Progressing through artworks using sequins on expanded-aluminium mesh, Larry turned to lead-lighting and painted glass for her portraiture and decorative works. This led to the use of acrylic paint on ceramic tile and white leather. Larry’s now enthralled with the combination of metallic acrylic paint and coloured pebbles and stones. Larry’s painstaking attention to detail is evident in all her pieces. Her subject matter – much of who are of indigenous peoples from Australia and beyond – are given dignity and pride, and give a sober pause for reflection.

Larry O'Donnell: Pebbles on ceramic tile

Larry is currently working on projects using a combination of acrylic metallic paint and painted pebbles on a ceramic tile substrate.
The "East African Warrior" piece (with yellow pebble background) has dimensions of 50cm x 38cm, and, following this piece, Larry re-did this portrait at a dimension of 100cm tall, composed entirely of painted pebbles on ceramic tile. This piece was sold at an exhibition in early 2010.
