Mardi Busby is an abstract artist working intuitively in a variety of mediums on contemporary canvases. Various surface reactions create a rich textural component to her work. Using strong earthy tones Mardi explores the qualities of thick modeling compounds, lustrous glazes and the tension between dry and wet mediums. Her passion for discovering new aesthetic qualities in her work drives her to work in a constantly evolving style.

Mardi has a background in graphic art and image design consultancy and after 25 years running a successful business she has turned her considerable energies to her passion as a practicing artist. Currently represented by "Zeb Gallery" and "Gallery One", Mardi enjoys a steady stream of sales and private commissions both in Australia and overseas. She hopes that people viewing her work will respond to its multi layered depths with curiosity and pleasure.

Mardi's Melbourne studio is situated in the relaxed and inspiring environment of Eltham.
