Arch of Solace

This oil painting was created after coming back from an artist residency at Bundanon on the south coast of NSW. The Shoalhaven landscape and late Australian Artist Arthur Boyd's property, studio, artwork and homestead was the rich inspiration that drove me to create this work. The landscape depicted in this peice is the very same that Arthur painted many times throughout his life. It was an honour to have the opportunity to spend that time absorbed in the environment working on my practice.
