Vieceli’s works comprise of plein air “colour sketches” in oil, combining her background in drawing with her intuitive approach to painting.

“My art reflects the essence of tranquillity, renewal and our connection with Nature in its many forms and the senses that this evokes in the individual with the subject matter being something that everyone can relate to.” – Inta Charteris

“This collection is a painterly exploration and celebration of Sydney’s unique coastline. The intricate, jagged headlands that define our harbour and the ocean that determine our living relationship to the sea” – Vittoria Vieceli
