Serenity 2

A vibrant textured acrylic painting of the rocky shoreline near St Helens, capturing the rugged beauty of Tasmania’s east coast. Large sunlit granite rocks dominate the foreground, their surfaces layered with thick palette knife textures in warm ochre, soft pink, sandy beige, and cool grey tones. Patches of orange lichen and weathered cracks add natural detail and character to the stone formations.
Crystal-clear turquoise water laps gently around the rocks, painted with sweeping acrylic strokes and hints of seafoam white. Reflections shimmer across the shallow pools between the boulders, revealing touches of aqua, emerald, and deep cobalt beneath the surface.
The sky is expansive and luminous, filled with soft coastal light. Gentle clouds drift overhead, enhancing the calm, open atmosphere. Thick acrylic textures throughout the painting create depth and movement, giving the rocks and ocean a tactile, almost sculptural quality.
The mood is serene and refreshing, celebrating the raw coastal charm and pristine natural beauty of Tasmania’s east coast.

My work is a celebration of texture, colour, and emotional honesty. I am drawn to bold, bright palettes and richly layered surfaces that invite the viewer not only to see, but to feel. Texture plays a central role in my practice — I build, scrape, layer, and reveal, allowing each piece to hold traces of its own evolution.

After becoming a mother, my relationship with art transformed. In the beautiful, disorienting process of rediscovering myself within motherhood, painting became both an anchor and a reclamation. What began as a quiet return to creativity evolved into a reignited passion — a way of finding my voice again, reconnecting with joy, and expressing the complex emotions that come with nurturing new life while redefining your own.

For me, painting is not just a process; it is an outpouring. I pour my soul into every canvas, using colour and form as a language when words fall short. My art is an invitation to connect: to emotion, to colour, and to the beauty found in depth and intensity
