1150 x 1150 mm (canvas size) original painting by Marcia Priestley. Acrylic on canvas. Box Framed In Oak
“The Paradigm Shift” captures the raw leap from innocence to becoming—childlike figures hurling themselves into adulthood with grit, grace, and a flicker of hope. It’s messy, bold, and deeply human. A reckoning. A becoming. A quiet kind of rebellion wrapped in love.
Like breaking out of a costume you didn’t know you were wearing, this work speaks to the moment adults start unlearning the script—peeling off the layers, rewiring the mind, and returning to a deeper truth. Not regression, but release. The kind of freedom you only recognise once you’ve had to fight for it.
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.
