Sea haven

Im not ashamed to say my first love next to my love of painting is the ocean. I am so cativated by the myriad of beautiful colors and what I can see or imagine is underneath the tantalizing surface of the waves. I swim in the sea nearly every day and as I empty my mind from all the clutter I am spellbound by the wonderland below. This stunning, bright but tranquil work brings the viewer a glimpse of the eddying tides, rocks, green grass seaweed and hidden depths that lie beneath the surface. It it a glorious statement piece for your wall and draws the viewer into its magic.

The canvas is a one off original piece and comes with d rings and wire ready to hang. The piece is unframed. Sides are are painted in a crisp white to set off the artwork. The work is created in acrylic with a touch of pastel and pencil. 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.
