Our story

Mansell Fine Art is the shared practice of Andrew and Jacquelyn Mansell, artists based in lutruwita / Tasmania.

Working primarily in oil, their paintings are grounded in close observation, time spent on Country and a disciplined approach to light, structure and colour. Each work emerges from sustained engagement with place, where landscape is not treated as subject alone, but as a living system to be studied, understood and translated.

Andrew Mansell is a proud palawa man of Trawlwoolway descent. His work is shaped by cultural knowledge, ecological awareness and long-term observation of landscape. Through painting, he engages with Country as authority, creating works that carry both presence and memory.

Jacquelyn Mansell is a colourist and oil painter whose practice focuses on tonal relationships, atmosphere and form. Her work explores the subtleties of light and structure, refining a visual language that is both restrained and deeply observed, connecting you to the subject.

Together, their practice is strengthened through Palawa Pigments, the Aboriginal-owned paint and pigment studio they operate. By working directly with earth and mineral sources, their paintings are informed not only by what is seen, but by the material knowledge of place itself.

Their works are developed through a combination of plein air study and studio refinement, resulting in paintings that hold both immediacy and depth. Each piece reflects time, attention and a commitment to accuracy in both structure and colour.

Mansell Fine Art sits within a contemporary Australian landscape tradition while offering a distinct perspective grounded in lutruwita. Their work is held in private collections and continues to evolve through ongoing research, observation and practice.
