Rainy Ocean

Anne's content hovers around the traditional trifecta – still life, portrait and landscape. She is interested in experimenting with colour, light, luminosity and texture. This painting is based on a windy walk around Lennox Heads, near Byron Bay, in Queensland, Australia. The region had recently been affected by incessant rain and devastating floods as the result of climate change. The water of the ocean was muddy due to the deluge of water from nearby overflowing rivers.

As a working mother, much of my artwork narrates this experience. My content hovers around the traditional trifecta – still life, portrait and landscape. However, narrative artwork seems to be a developing theme. Through my artwork, I aim to achieve authenticity, a true reflection of my reality or imagination, by combination and manipulation of visual imagery. Recently, people have looked at my artwork and said ‘I know how you feel.’ I am interested in experimenting with colour, light and luminosity. In the past, I have made forays into other Art media, but I always return to painting. So far, no other Art media can beat that primal contact with a canvas.
