Becoming

Becoming depicts a woman sitting quietly among the plants, listening to stories carried on the wind as she decides whether she is ready to return. Surrounded by layers of vibrant colour and expressive marks, the figure appears suspended between reflection and transformation. The work explores vulnerability, strength, memory, and the idea that identity is always evolving rather than fixed.

This original pastel artwork is created on 50 x 70 cm paper with a 1 cm border surrounding the image area, making framing easier.

I was born in Brisbane, where I spent my formative years in the Redlands, a region known for its scenic coastline and lush bushland. Growing up in the Redlands, I was inspired by the natural beauty and tranquility of my surroundings, which played a significant role in nurturing my creative spirit. During my high school years I discovered my talent for drawing, igniting my lifelong passion for creating and the arts.

After finishing high school, my life took a new direction as I became a devoted mother of four children. My focus shifted to raising my family, and for over two decades, I set aside my artistic pursuits to dedicate myself fully to motherhood and family life.

More than 20 years later I rekindled my love for art. This return to art marked a significant and inspiring chapter in my life, proving that it's never too late to pursue one's passion.
