Summer at Scorching

Acrylic on Canvas (Requires Framing)
50cm (W) x 40cm (H) x 1 cm (D)
Vanished Satin.
Signed on the front.

On a Sunday, as a child we would sometimes get to drive around to have a swim in Scorching Bay - made famous by The Chocolate Fish Cafe for those that remember it. The warmest water you could get at a beach in Wellington, the golden sand sticking and joy, I can remember it so clearly, forcing myself into the chilly water with the sun baking down. This image reminds me of those sunny Sunday's. Do you have memories of going to the beach as a kid? The family ‘Sunday Drives’? I hope this painting brings back childhood happy memories for you.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks for looking

I am an abstract artist and much of the colour and subject matter in my art references my own experiences and emotions around stunning landscapes in NZ where I was born and Australia where I now live.

I have also been a TV Producer and Casting Director for over 20 years, working for overseas TV networks and Australian broadcasters.

As a child, and right through my 20's, 30's and 40's I have loved to paint and create and after the loss of my mother it became an outlet.

I mainly use acrylic's, concentrating on bright, bold colour combinations – challenging the idea of traditional colour in everyday scenery and incorporating big loose brush strokes to allow a sense of movement.

I am motivated to make my mum proud and to bring joy to someone’s day with my pieces of art.
