Originally from Western Sydney and now a Gold Coast local, artist Bec Talbot originally trained as a primary school teacher. A pivotal health challenge prompted her to veer down a different path, ultimately leading to her now full-time career as a self-taught artist.
‘Resilient Gratitude’ is a thought- provoking abstract exhibition where resilience meets gratitude. Inspired by author Dr Kerry Howell’s ‘Six pillars of gratitude’, Talbot explores the profound journey of resilience intertwined with the profound power of gratitude. A warm, earthy colour palette symbolises appreciation and a sense of abundance. Through vivid strokes and subtle nuances, each piece is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to rise, transform, and find solace in the midst of adversity.
Talbot revels in the liberating realm of abstract art, finding inspiration for her earthy palette in the stunning coastal and hinterland landscapes that surround her. Her affinity for acrylics and various mediums is shown through the distinctive textures and intricate details that characterise her pieces. Talbot’s works combine the ethereal qualities of textural organic elements with the bold strokes of contemporary abstraction.
