Surf and Sail

In Surf and Sail the interplay of movement, geometry and coastal atmosphere finds expression through layering of shape and texture. This piece was inspired by the raw energy of ocean swells, and the contrast between the rigidity of the boat hull and the organic curves of the wind filled sail. The bold angular form cutting across the frame was inspired by the cut of the hill slicing through the ocean . In this piece I capture the warm coastal light and deep oceanic blues.

I love variety in my art and move between abstract style using mixed media., and realism. I am inspired by scenes and experiences, and I endeavour to capture the essence and movement. I enjoy colour and variety in my artwork. My painting “Between the Flags” won the Handlers Prize at the Thirroul Seaside Art Festival. “Banksia Served Three Ways” was selected as a 2022 finalist in the Hornsby Art Prize, and my still life “Town and Country” as a finalist at Bowral Art Gallery. “Inside Out” was hung as a finalist in the Hunters Hill Art Prize. I am a member of the Illawarra Art Society and participate in their regular exhibitions.
