'KIP' aka 'Knowledge Is Power' - 100 x 150cm (canvas size) original painting by Marcia Priestley. Acrylic on canvas, box framed in oak.
A girl relaxed surrounded by a stack of books, a lit cigarette in hand, exuding quiet defiance and intellectual confidence. The juxtaposition of wisdom and rebellion speaks to the complexities of empowerment—how knowledge fuels independence, challenges norms, and carves space for individuality. This piece captures the magnetic tension between intellect and edge, offering a glimpse into a mind unbound by convention.
Australian Artist, Marcia Priestley evokes an alluring narrative fluent with emotion using acrylic and mixed media application. Creating serene viewings, lyrical tones are sculptured and composed from longitudinal arrangements or pattern formation creating movement, body, texture & difference.
Tempering romanticism, realism, simplicity and energy, life is captured in her creative process often occurring with spirited meaning, shaping her symbolic and harmonious style.
