Fragilis

FragilisRoo is a Brisbane Meanjin based artist mainly working with ballpoint pen. Her challenging and traumatic upbringing led to Roo finding beauty in escaping into all things creative. Coming from a family not able to afford much, she often scavenged pens to teach herself how to draw. Fast forward to Roo's adult years, and she faced countless and relentless adversities. In the wake of family sickness and subsequent deaths, Roo found solace in art once more.

serene beauty and find calm in the present

and find beauty in the imperfect and the unseen

A passionate advocate for the neurodiversity and recovery paradigms

The heart has an incredible capacity to endure

with its own colours and story

while gilded seams turn damage into strength and silence into resilience

I remember thinking how wonderful it would be to come across signs with uplifting

I’ve always loved the ocean and the Australian coastline

These subjects continue to inspire her work
