Founder of Artists Alliance Australia | Realist Painter of Land & Sea
🧑🎨 About the Artist
Graeme Love is a realist painter whose works reflect the natural world with honesty and clarity. Though art was his passion from a young age, his professional journey began in printing and graphic arts — where his mastery of colour coordination laid the foundation for his later artistic success.
After retiring from a career in insurance and finance, Graeme returned to painting full-time, working primarily in pastels and oils. His landscapes and seascapes are grounded in realism, capturing the world as it is — with minimal embellishment and maximum emotional truth.
“Art should reflect nature. I paint what I see. I don’t believe nature needs any embellishment.”
