Dinah Wakefield
Born: 1952
Hometown: London, UK
Based in: Noosa
Dinah inherited her love of painting from her artist father, Larry Wakefield. Originally from the UK, Dinah began painting seriously when she moved to Australia and in 1998 had her first exhibition at the Beattie Gallery in Sydney. Since then Dinah has been able to develop an international following and her paintings are included in collections in New York, London, Toronto, Paris and right throughout Australia.
In 2016, Dinah moved from Sydney to the Noosa region of Australia and set up a studio. She was particularly inspired by the beauty of the coastline and her palette, composition and use of organic texture developed into the style you see today. She is known for the tremendous sense of movement and energy that she captures in her paintings and the beautiful ambience her work creates.

More About Dinah Wakefield
What inspires you?
My paintings are inspired by the light, the colours and the natural beauty of the region in which I live. “What I love most about Noosa is the interplay of light. From the ocean to the clouds and out to the hinterland, this canvas unfolds before me every day and finds expression in my paintings”.
Describe your creative process.
Every painting starts with a recollection of something I have seen in nature. It could be light reflected on the ocean, watermarks on sand or that moment when sunlight streams through the clouds. I bring that memory into the studio and allow it to unfold as paint onto the canvas. My goal is to capture the feeling of the experience of nature and bring this feeling into reality.
