About Me
- Larry O'Donnell
- 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.

Des and Pat - on a tile
Des is a very close friend of the family. After his wife Pat passed away, Des approached Larry to paint the two of them together as a lasting memory.
Larry hadn't worked on art projects for several months, so this was a good project to get back into the swing of things.
