Margie Delahunty Spencer is a full time Ballarat-based artist who also spends time in her coastal studio. She formally studied both painting and ceramics. Her current body of works have evolved from an exploration of her ‘role’ in life. The domestic vessels she uses every day to plant, gather, harvest, eat and cook are represented in this body of work. The environment she spends her time in with her husband and four adult children, also influence these joyful renditions of still life. Delahunty Spencer uses bright strong brushstrokes and quick movements with lots of layers, creating works like sketches with paint.

FAVE RECIPE?
I have many. My family are all plant-based eaters, however I’m currently making a raw lemon and fig cheesecake, as we have an abundance of both in our garden. The recipe is from 'This Rawsome Vegan Life'.
FAVE MOMENT?
The moment I walk over the dunes and view the beach before my morning paddles and trying to be in the moment, however I do spend a lot of time thinking about what I’m going to eat for breakfast.
