The new mum has topped her previous sales record and attributes her success to a unique arts space.
Ms Healey joins more than a dozen creative community members who have showcased their work at Warrnambool’s Maddens Lawyers since 2013.
Her pieces were on display as part of the ‘Artist in Residence’ program.
The collaboration between the law firm and F Project offers art-lovers a distinct way to buy local art.
Ms Healey, who’s work has been on display since November 2017, said she was thrilled to have sold her paintings.
“They keep selling,” she said. “I think this is the most I’ve sold in one venue.
“I’ve sold ten paintings in total and together with the launch it’s been a really lovely experience.”
Maddens Lawyers partner Kathryn Emeny said the pieces had been an effective ‘ice-breaker’ in the meeting rooms.
“The landscapes are not only local but calming and comfortable as well,” she said. “It has also welcomed the community into Maddens to look at art, not just for business purposes.
“It’s seen as an opportunity to demystify the law and invite the public into spaces which they may not ever visit.”
Maddens Lawyers are preparing to host its thirteenth artist, Port Fairy photographer Simon O’Dwyer.
His work will be installed May 25 at a launch open to the public.
