ONE MILE OUT:

Artist Lyndal Vermette has honed her skills in a variety of mixed media to create techniques that are truly her own. Painting in inks, acrylic inks and at times, incorporating a hand poured resin finish to her work, she creates her own unique and identifiable style. Vermette’s inspiration of water and fluid coastal colors are captured in her biomorphic compositions. Ethereal and serene, they often embody the magnificent Australian coastline that filled her formative years, and continues to inspire her work.

Vermette was born into an artistic and adventurous Australian family. Her mother was a founder of Nakina Fine Art formerly named Dabbles on Days Gallery in Brisbane. Her father, a helicopter enthusiast and pilot, founded the celebrated “Rotary Art Show” in Brisbane over 40 years ago, which continues today. When Vermette wasn’t flying over the breathtaking Australian landscape with her father, she was refining her artistic skills under the example of women artists represented by her mother’s gallery.

Vermette studied performing arts at Queensland University of Technology as well as a Graduate Degree in Education. She went on to teach dramatic arts in London and pursue a graduate degree at the University of London.

After traveling the world for over 10 years and teaching dramatic arts in London, she and her family settled in New York City where she has focused on painting for the last 15 years. With well over 125 paintings sold internationally to collectors from Australia, Europe and the US, her work has become synonymous with understated expression and chic coastal style.
