Shark Bay 3

This acrylic painting captures a striking stretch of coastline in Shark Bay Western Australia, where vivid red earth meets soft white sand and calm turquoise water. The contrast between the warm, rugged land and the smooth, cool ocean gives it so much energy and balance at the same time. Seen from above, the shapes and colors flow together beautifully — it’s bold, peaceful, and full of that wild coastal vibe.

Hello, my name is Di, I live in Melbourne and have had my creative business for many years. I have created art in graphite pencil-my favourite growing up, pen and ink, watercolours and now acrylics. I absolutely love working with acrylics, it allows expression and passion with a few brush strokes. I paint what I love and hope you too will love it. Currently, my latest works are in my fav blues, greens and charcoals, serene and calming. This is just the beginning!
