Pauline said since the boxes have been in use, there has been a higher demand for her work. “It has really showcased me internationally and given me much higher exposure,” she said. “I have had orders from America for paintings, so it is a really good recognition as an artist.” Pauline grew up in Bulahdelah and has had a lifetime interest in art. Her first painting was of Bulahdelah’s Alum Mountain and she attributes her ongoing passion to the memory of her much-loved grandmother, Nan Syron. Pauline said her work reflects the Australian bush which she captures through abstract landscapes. “It is very contemporary and very modern,” she said. “The way I do my dot art is abstract, so you can recognise the location and thread the dot art into the landscape.” Pauline has spent the last few years working from her studio and Gallery at Berridale in the Snowy Mountains Shire, turning her hobby into a thriving business. She has also been kept busy with a host of commercially commissioned work. Pauline said she will be returning to the local area to set up a studio at her home on the Karuah River. She plans to use her artistic talents to share the Worimi Dreamtime stories and her connection with the water. By John SAHYOUN Artist Pauline Syron-Coxon with the cookie box featuring her artwork.
