Artwork Description

With my latest work Where Silence Settles, I wanted to capture that unmistakable feeling of standing alone in the Australian outback, where the horizon stretches endlessly and the silence feels almost tangible. Its a work that captures the vast stillness of the Australian outback, where endless skies stretch across the horizon and the land seems to breathe in quiet solitude.
I was inspired by the way the landscape can feel both immense and intimate at the same time. Soft blue skies hover above bands of warm earth tones, while layers of ochre, salmon, rust and dusty greens merge and dissolve into one another. Loose, expressive marks suggest distant trees, weathered fence lines and fleeting traces of life, all dwarfed by the immense openness of the landscape. Tiny birds drift across the sky, reinforcing the sense of scale and the feeling of being completely immersed in the natural world.

In this work, I explore the beauty that exists in silence, the moments when the land appears suspended in time and every sound seems absorbed by the vastness around it. Rich textures, gestural brushstrokes and my signature intuitive mark-making create movement within the stillness, inviting the viewer to slow down and linger. Where Silence Settles is both a celebration of the Australian landscape and a reflection on the peace, contemplation and quiet wonder that can only be found in remote places where nature speaks softly.
The canvas is an 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 paint. All work has been sealed and varnished for protection.

Artist Bio

Carolyne Jane
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.
