Artwork Description

This is a drawing I doodled many years ago which I have lovingly created on canvas. I used the backdrop of my years living in Hawaii, USA. Yes, how lucky was I!! And yes, humpback whales do migrate south to Hawaii from the chilly waters of Alaska, USA. Very lucky to watch them breach on the North Shore of Oahu, however I decided to paint the lovely Nā Pali coastline, Kauai because it's simply mystical, green and breathtakingly beautiful.
The buyer needs to feel a connection with these docile mammals and the amazing coastlines they are free to play in whether it's the Southern Hemisphere or the Northern Hemisphere. The frame is repurposed with love to give you that beach feel, however I'm willing to sell without the frame. Even better, Bluethumb will add a custom frame to suit your home. Please contact me for further information. I hope I have connected with you and thanks for looking x

Artist Bio

Hello everyone!
I have travelled far and wide with my husband's work for 20 odd years to numerous states around Australia and twice to the USA. I suppose you can call me a defence spouse, Army style!
It was during a posting to the US where I became the 'accidental artist', painting local scenes around Leavenworth County, Kansas and selling my art through word of mouth! This crazy journey has inspired me to continue my love for painting scenes throughout Australia
I feel my artwork is, by virtue, the colours I see and the lines that define them. My art is bright, bold, joyful, unique depictions of life around me through numerous journeys I've encountered in a nature loving form. I draw inspiration from female artists in Maude Lewis, Georgia O'Keefe and Heather Brown who created their own distinct styles and a belief in themselves
For me and my art style, I seek collectors who dare to venture into bright pop/ naive/ contemporary art.
I focus mainly on acrylics and black markers using small to medium size canvas or acrylic paper. Certain picture frames are repurposed and matted with love to reduce the landfill we humans love to create.
I want my artwork to be different, a little obscure, very animated, yet recognisable to admire.
I hope to bring a visual flair to those who adore creative, quirky pieces that express pure joy and an illustrative love of life around us. Your blank wall or tiny computer nook may need a dose of gladness to brighten your
