Ranunculus 1 | Ineka Voigt

Ineka Voigt is a visual artist based in Ngunnawal & Ngambri country, Kambri/Canberra.

She comes from a family of creative women who taught her to draw and paint.

Ineka’s work is autobiographical and forms a visual diary of places and memories.

Working in gouache and oils, typical subjects include flowers, gardens, bushland, native birds and still life. Ineka is committed to a daily creative practice that is joyful and expressive.

Ineka is an Artist Educator at the National Gallery of Australia.

She has exhibited her work in group shows including the 2024 Incognito Art Show, funding professional development opportunities for artists living with disability.

Ineka is a member of Craft + Design Canberra, and was a finalist in the 2024 Creative Journalling Challenge.

On 26 January 2016 her illustration Stolen Dreamtime was used as a symbol of reconciliation and solidarity.

"Ranunculus symbolises a turning point.”

“A year ago I found myself in Daylesford in early spring. If you've ever spent time in the Macedon shire, you will know that it's picturesque rolling hills, gum forests and flower lined streets are something out of a children's book.”

“When I arrived, the garden bed in the centre of town was a blanket of Ranunculus in every colour. I took way too many photos and painted them back in our little woodland cabin. I painted flowers and gardens almost everyday for a month.”

“My partner would go to work for 6 hours and he'd come home to find me still painting at the coffee table.”

“And through this daily act of creating I realised that I wanted to be an artist, and that while it may take time, it was the life I wanted to cultivate.”

“This was the first small work I created since calling myself an artist. It was the first painting in a ongoing body of work using gouache on paper, created from a place of curiosity, expression and joy.”

“May you blossom where you are planted."
