Bio
Deanne Palmer is a contemporary Australian painter and sculptor whose transition from oil to encaustic marked a deliberate shift toward sustainability in her practice. Working with natural, archival materials, she creates eco-conscious works that reflect her environmental values. Her exploration of encaustic has expanded into innovative sculptural forms, often incorporating repurposed elements, resulting in artworks that balance beauty with ecological awareness.orks that invite reflection and hope in the face of ecological change.
Deanne has worked in the visual arts industry since 1980. She teaches and mentors adults and young artists from her Sydney studio, Limelight Studios Gladesville, which she established in 2008 and continues to exhibit in group and solo shows throughout Australia and overseas.
