angela brennan -lrb- born 1960 -rrb- is an australian painter .
brennan was born in ballarat in 1960 .
she went on to complete a fine arts degree , in painting , at royal melbourne institute of technology in 1982 and a bachelor of arts , majoring in philosophy , at the university of melbourne in 1992 .
best known for her high-keyed abstractions , brennan displays a mastery of colour and spontaneity in her work that offers the viewer a range of ideas and emotions that seek a reaction .
she continues to add to her repertoire of painting styles , including abstracts , text paintings , portraits , interiors and landscapes , and more recently has expanded her practice to include ceramics and sculptural installations .
these varied modes of art-making allow brennan to encounter philosophical and personal subject matter .
in 2006 the monash university museum of art held a major survey exhibition of her work , titled `` angela brennan : every morning i wake up on the wrong side of capitalism '' .
