Artist/Painter Artist Biography - Jeana Castelli - 2024
I am a practising artist presently working from my studio in Perth. Enjoy!
I studied at the Claremont School of Art and TAFE in Perth which has given me an excellent foundation to develop my skills and knowledge. My husband was a graphic artist for many years who greatly influenced me with perspective, balance and composition in my paintings. In 2004 I moved to Bunbury with my husband Vince from Perth where we lived for seventeen years. This gave me the opportunity to f
ocus on building my career as a professional artist. During this period I participated in many Art Award Exhibitions including the South West Art Now, the Mid West Art Awards (Geraldton), the Mandjar Awards, the City of Busselton Art Award, Vasse Art Award, the Ferguson Valley and Tree Street Art Trails and various other art awards in Perth including the Minnawarra Art Award. I have sold many of my paintings and commissioned for a number of works. My cultural origins as an Australian born to Italian parents had been a great source of inspiration for my earlier work. In 2008 I spent along with my husband three months in Italy and on returning from that trip I held my second solo exhibition. It proved to be very successful having sold twenty eight of the thirty five paintings exhibited. Since then I have participated in many art awards and exhibitions, invited to exhibit at the Agora Art Gallery Chelsea NY, invited and participated in the Perth Art Upmarket at UWA Perth 2019, Colour in Your Life, invited and participated in the Donnelly River Artist Residency with an exhibition held in Fremantle in November 2019, RAW Natural Born Artists Australia, invited and published work in the national Australian magazine Art/Edit and 2019 participated in a collaborative art exhibition with three other artists at the new Collie Regional Art Gallery. My paintings have evolved from earlier years as a figurative painter to a more semi abstract style focusing on the West Australian Landscape. My work is based on the mystery that I see in the story’s unfolding in the layers of the underlying landscape. My intention is to give the viewer an insight into the connection between human beings and their natural habitat, to awaken the natural curiosity inherent in all of us and find the beauty in the environment we live in. My love of working with acrylics on canvas, using a variety of mediums, gives me the freedom to manipulate flow of paint resulting in a spontaneous and often unexpected outcome. I commence a work not having a particular direction but as I progress I find myself seeing movement, shapes and figures in the paint flow. My intuition then takes over and I begin to see a clear path unfolding. In April of 2023 we moved back to Perth where I am now working from my studio at home. I am presently working on several new pieces for Gallery 360 whom I’m represented by and also in preparation for several upcoming art exhibitions. I have also joined the Inglewood Art Hub as a member alongside a number of excellent professional artists. We will soon present an exhibition at our newly renovated gallery, “Conversations”. It is my hope that purchasers of my paintings will find their own continuing mystery and story in each of my works. Artist CV - Jeana Castelli - 2024

My first exhibition in Perth since moving back from Bunbury in April last year will take place in early August. I was aware of the Inglewood Art Hub through Peter and Gillian Ciemitis whom I’ve known for many years. They have had a great deal to do with establishing the hub and since it is close to home it made sense to join. A space in the Community Centre in Inglewood was available which has been renovated and now our gallery. It’s a great space with excellent lighting. Commencing on the 7th through to the 17th I am holding my exhibition. There are two other artists who will be exhibiting a few pieces of their work. I will be showing a number of new pieces and several previously exhibited in major exhibitions in the South West, Perth and the Midwest. This Friday morning the 2nd we will be doing an interview at Radio RTR FM92.1 on Artbeat at 11.10. You may like to tune in and learn more about the exhibition and Inglewood Art Hub. Look forward to seeing you at my exhibition. #
