Artwork Description

This is one of a series of abstract people paintings in which I have used collage in conjunction with paint to develop an interesting surface and final composition. The figures in this set of three blue seaside paintings were inspired by scenes observed on the beach in summer, paying attention to people as they walked and played in the summer sun. I have chosen to use blue as the predominant colour scheme in each, with just an accent of orange for interest.

Each of the acrylic paintings is framed in a timber (pine) frame, so ready to hang.

Artist Bio

Proud to be a finalist 2026 Paddington Painting Prize!

I have been making art for a few years now, and I'm now doing it full-time. I'm loving the artist journey, and am proud to be one of bluethumb's top sellers. I have a large array of artwork available. I paint a lot, and enjoy exploring watercolour, oil and cold wax medium, acrylic paintings and mixed media as well as printmaking. Some of my work is on paper, others canvas or board. Perhaps you'd like to click on "follow" and hear about new work as it is listed.

I take inspiration from the coastal landscape around Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, as well as more diverse landscape from travels across Australia and beyond. I love to paint expressively and sometimes abstractly to capture the feeling, colour and detail of locations. I also delve into still life, abstract portraits, urban landscapes and florals.

I am constantly adding to my art education through many classes, online and in person, and through intensive art experiences , with guidance and mentoring from many fabulous artists.

In February 2025 I retired from a long professional career working in research in the area of family studies.
