During my 47-year art career, my work has been influenced by where I live (the Hunter Valley NSW), where I have travelled and what I love. Colour and how it behaves has never ceased to fascinate me and I’ve attempted to capture the many moods of the Australian landscape along with flower studies in oil paint, using a limited palette.
Over the years, I’ve received over 200 awards for my work. It is represented in the collections of the Museum of Art and Culture Lake Macquarie and the Maitland Regional Art Gallery and two books about my art career are in the collections of the University of Newcastle and the City Reference Libraries.
I once painted under the name “MERRAN CORK”. These days I simply sign my work “MERRAN”.
Below are a few images of my oil paintings. To see more of those available for sale, I invite you to visit my Instagram page, https://www.instagram.com/merrankilgour/
