Seelander has exhibited in every capital city of Australia,
in Tokyo and also in the original home of Abstract
Expressionism, New York. Her paintings are vibrantly
abstract, the gestural marks being influenced by Chinese
calligraphy and seeming to explode across the surface
of her paintings.
These surfaces vary markedly from canvas to canvas.
Seelander explores the versatility of a range of media
from marble-dust and ochres to high gloss paints and
resins.
Inspired by words and poems, Seelander captures the
essence of phrases through colour and gesture. She
builds the work up from her emotional response to
an idea, directly influencing the raw power of her
works. Her colours can be dazzling in their brilliance:
electric blues, rich golden yellows, intense searing
reds.
