Two Brave Souls, Cabarita - was a finalist at The Border Art Prize, 2018 at the Tweed Regional Gallery.

This piece was created from watching two crazy surfers paddling out at Cabarita during a large swell, normally the waves would come in and break from the point but the swell was so large during a low-mid tide it was breaking before the headland allowing the surfers to ride left and right. There was this epic streak of white water pouring to the beach, off-shore wind, almost perfect stormy conditions and these two guys were paddling out through the pounding waves in the early morning, it gave me a great abstract viewpoint from the headland to create a unique composition and capture this event balancing tones of black and white, a battle of white water and swell. I love capturing narratives or moments like these, tracing back to my own surf experiences its a way of storytelling a time and place.

This artwork is Acrylic on Canvas, float framed in Tasmanian oak, with D rings ready to hang.
