Love and Light – Alanah Jarvis – There is growing scientific evidence around the world that being in, near, on or under water changes frequencies in our mind and induces a mild sedative state. We are compelled to stare out at the ocean or a large body of water for this reason. It’s said that we have a ‘blue mind’ with the colour being renowned for its calming properties. Its no wonder that important life events such as weddings, vacations or retirement plans are often planned around water!
Bring a slice of that calmness into your space. This artwork showcases many fine details to create depth and reflections of light dancing of the water’s surface. Calming blues, lilacs and white will sure bring a subtle yet impactful statement and even though it is framed in Tasmanian Oak, the edges have been painted to ensure no white sides are ever exposed.

Alanah Jarvis is an Australian artist whose Abstract Weathered Series explores the raw beauty of nature shaped by time. Her richly textured paintings are inspired by the surfaces of the earth and landscapes shaped by wind and water. Through layering and erosion-like techniques, Alanah captures the quiet power of weathered materials, transforming natural imperfections into striking visual stories. These works bring depth, character and a grounded, organic presence into the home.

Each piece reflects a fascination with the marks time leaves behind, the way colour fades, textures shift and surfaces tell silent stories. With earthy palettes and tactile surfaces, Alanah’s paintings create a sense of place, something enduring, elemental and beautifully imperfect. Her art complements modern spaces with natural warmth, drawing people in to look closer, feel more and connect to the world around them.

Alongside this body of work, Alanah also paints her Realistic Ocean Series. Seascapes that capture the expansive light and movement of the coastline. These oil paintings reflect her love of the ocean’s shifting moods and timeless beauty, bringing a sense of space, breath and natural energy into any setting.
