Bizarre creations that tickle your soul.

Guided by the strange eccentricities of my mind, my work transforms seemingly mundane subjects into playful scenes which seek to connect to the viewer through absurdity.

The Lovers

Welcome!

Hey! Melbourne-based artist Althea here!

Welcome to my wacky world. Whether its through paintings of food with eyeballs or realistic expressive portraits, I like to create funny art that sparks joy. My work subtly touches on the fragility of life and existence with wacky oil paintings that challenge reality, sparks curiosity, and invites you to see the world in a new, quirky light.
