'The last Stroke'
oil on canvas
Artist Statement
Four sweltering summers ago,
I sat in the hot little warehouse studio painting this.
Jackson came in and said he could feel a tingling in his arm
- “should I call mother?” ... “I don't know? Perhaps, yes”.
We were to do a collaborative exhibition called “Reflections”.
It was to be Ray Moller, Jackson Gooch and myself.
We had picked the colour scheme tones of blue and ochre.
I lay the last strokes for the day, put away my brush
and thought to myself “I hope Jackson is ok.”
That night Jackson had a stroke.
This was the last time I laid brush on canvas.
This piece is unfinished.
I call it 'The last Stroke'.

Multi-talented Janelle provided a musical background
for the opening night of Scott Whittingham's solo show
held in November 2012.
Above: Generously donating her time and skills to the Serpentine Community Gallery's
CreativExchange@Lismore Show, held in October 2012, Janelle Buckley and friend Nigel
demonstrated the innovative use of monstereo delicio leaves (Monstera deliciosa),
with other found objects and wire to conjure up a selection of bugs.
Below: Joined by Jess and some eager-to-create showgoers,
they also found the time to shape an extra-large, articulated ladybug
using plastic piping, wire, paper, paste and paint.
'Skin'
Oils
38”x69”

Artist Statement: Influenced by the work of Brett Whiteley,
I was interested in the interplay of texture in juxtaposition to the distortion of the figure.

'Voyeur'
Charcoal & pastels
38” x 26”
As art reflects upon society
and society reflects upon art.
This piece asks the question,
‘Are you the voyeur in this situation or are you being watched?’
I drew this before I even
knew of my bi-sexuality
and when I looked back
on my early work
it became strikingly obvious
that it was always there.
