Sligo by the Water Edge

A quiet moment by the water's edge in County Sligo, Ireland.
In capturing this scene, I was inspired to evoke a feeling of peace and beauty, and even though it's beauty caught in a transient moment, it's beauty remembered.
I painted this piece from a photo I took one night after hearing there was a chance to see the northern lights dance their colours in the sky. We went out in the car to search for a good viewpoint to hopefully see them, and found ourselves down a tiny road leading to this view of the bay. It was so quiet, waiting there, with the lap of the water, looking for any change or movement in the sky. Unfortunately, it got too late and we didn’t see the lights, but I captured this moment when the sky held a particularly bright and luminous glow due to the solar activity.

Hi, I'm Georgia.

I’m an artist based on the Gold Coast, Australia. My art is inspired by quiet moments in nature: evenings with colours in the sky that will never appear the same way again, things that won’t be again, the always-changing, impermanence of the natural world. All in the effort to capture, to hopefully create some way to hold a moment for longer.
