Overview:

 Pat Reynolds is a contemporary Australian painter whose work blends atmospheric landscapes, abstraction, and spiritual symbolism. Based in the Yarra Valley, she began painting full-time in 2022, developing an intuitive, process-driven practice grounded in acrylic, oil, and cold wax. Drawing on her background in theology, her paintings explore themes of longing, mystery, hope, and inner transformation. Inglis’s works often evoke vast, contemplative spaces that invite viewers into emotional and spiritual reflection. Her debut solo exhibition, Make Its Wild Places Bloom, presented a body of work centered on the idea of the “spiritual wilderness” — the challenging inner terrain that ultimately becomes a place for renewal and revelation.
