Ocean - Diamond Blue

This stunning seascape Ocean - Diamond Blue captures my love of the ocean and its endless sense of mystery. I wanted to create a feeling of open space and quiet energy, where the deep teal and turquoise tones draw you into the movement of the water. The soft pink ochre and browns along the horizon suggest a distant shoreline, while the pale blue sky adds calm and balance. For me, it’s about that beautiful stillness you feel when you pause and look out to sea and everything feels vast yet peaceful.
I added touches of bright lime yellow, pink and light turquoise to bring life and rhythm to the work, almost like fleeting sparkles of light or movement beneath the surface. My loose brushstrokes and expressive marks are intentional, giving the piece an energy that feels both spontaneous and natural. I think it captures the vastness and freedom of the ocean and that sense of timeless connection between sea and sky that always inspires me.
The canvas is an original piece and comes with d rings and wire ready to hang. The piece is UNFRAMED and sides painted a crisp white.. The work is created in acrylic paint. All work has been sealed and varnished for protection

THE BLOCK ARTIST - 2024 and 2025

I was absolutely thrilled that two of my works were again selected to feature in this year’s series of THE BLOCK in Daylesford 2025 and last year in THE BLOCK Phillip Island 2024! It is an incredible honour to be part of such a well-loved show, and I can’t begin to express how exciting it was to see my art displayed every night during contestant interviews.

I am an abstract artist and I find incredible inspiration from the rocks and sea around Phillip Island. I am very drawn to the changing colours of the sea and the beautiful colours of the red rocks and natural diversity of the island which often tend to end up being the main subjects for my art. I have a real passion for colour and enjoy experimenting with the use of different colour combinations to create my work.

My works are totally intuitive and I pour all my energy, passion and emotion into each unique piece I create. My works are mainly acrylic with some mixed media of charcoal and pastel and I adore painting on big canvases.

My artistic Journey originally saw me working with oils creating contemporary seascapes but as my art evolved I found myself wanting to really let go and create from within. I love being able to create from something as simple as a mark on paper or a thought and let the canvas tell me what it wants.

Lately I’ve found myself going a bit wild with my brushstrokes as the crazy madness of creating takes over. My passion is colour and I love experimenting with different colour palettes which keeps my works interesting and exciting. I truely am on a journey of exploration with my work.
