Sandbar

Original Oil painting set in a white float frame, ready to hang. Inspiration for this semi-abstract seascape painting came from a sensory experience of going to the beach. Immersed within the sand, saltwater and sun, one finds a sense of harmony.

Josephine Dash is a passionate Wollongong based Visual Artist who enjoys working with various mediums and media arts to explore universal themes such as hope, healing and spirituality. She has a Bachelor of Creative Arts - Major in Visual Arts, from the University of Wollongong and enjoys painting in a semi-abstract style, using a combination of palette knife and traditional brush strokes to achieve the desirable effects. She implements a slow painting process using multiple paint layering techniques to express the meditative and dreamlike state of consciousness she experiences when making art. This process is grounded in the practice based research of how memory and aesthetics relate to time and place through the medicinal qualities of art therapy. Through these connections and by living on the South Coast of Australia, Dash finds endless subject matter and inspiration to create these artworks.
