Art by Mark Naismith-Beeley

I am an instinctive painter exploring modern Impressionism and abstraction through the lens of my emotional response to light and colour. I share my passion through exhibiting, teaching and advocating for art in the community.

I acknowledge the Gadigal and Wangal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which I live and work.

I have been drawing and painting all my life in a variety of styles and media.

In this phase of my career, I’m renewing my focus on capturing the essence of the places I love in and around Sydney and its environs. 

I am particularly interested in capturing places and people. I think landscapes are informed by the people in them, going about their daily life in the places they love.

I work mainly in oil on canvas and my style is a contemporary blend of impressionist and expressionist. Original paintings and prints are available framed and unframed.

Why not commission your own Unique artwork?

Original and Custom Art

Everything you see on this site is a signed original work and one of a kind. If you like something in the shop, get it because there won't be another one the same!

However!...if you like what you see but it won't quite fit in your space, or you have a specific colour to match or an image you would like immortalised in art, then why not commission your very own work?

Why Commission?

  • Connection: You get to explain everything you like about art BEFORE any paint hits the canvas

  • Relationship: The artist not only gets an understanding about you and your values but also the proposed location of the painting and its purpose in your home. The painting is born out of that understanding and your relationship with the artist.

  • No remorse: Avoids the problem of “amazing, but wrong”. A painting in a gallery has been presented to its maximum advantage by professionals. Relocating it to your living room wall changes its context and can create dissonance between the artists vision and the environment.
