About the work

The Joy Patch is a happy tangle of colour, pattern and painterly mischief. Florals pop up where you least expect them, patterns chatter away to each other, and nothing is in a rush to behave. Warm ochres keep things grounded while pinks, greens and turquoise bounce around like they're at a garden party with no dress code.

This piece is all about joyful wandering — for the eye and the imagination. It's layered, curious and slightly chaotic in the best possible way. The kind of artwork that makes a wall smile back at you.

Acrylic and mixed media on canvas. 60cm x90cm. Satin varnished for protection and a Certificate of Authenticity provided.

About the artist

Lindy Farley doesn’t do beige. Her art is a full-colour celebration—loud, layered, and joyful! Raised on 80s flair and based in regional NSW, she channels a free-spirited chaos into work that’s as vibrant and chaotic as her paint-splattered studio. Growing up in the 80s, Lindy’s love for bold, electric colours translates into her spirited, layered artworks, which she paints from her home studio: a chaotic space scattered with acrylic paints, inks, and pastels in every colour of the rainbow. Through an instinctive, free-spirited process, Lindy experiments with these media to create richly textured works that aim to evoke joy and elation, taking inspiration from the world around her in regional New South Wales. She finds ideas for her artworks from her travels around Australia, and more recently Europe, and her life on the farm. She takes inspiration from her two favourite artists, Henri Matisse and Ken Done. Lindy takes joy from the community of artists in the local Gallery and Studio. She enjoys working there where she teaches children’s classes and workshops, as well as having the opportunity to curate the artworks in the Gallery. This all contributes to helping her art practice evolve.
