Deep sea

This original work was inspired by the ocean, the deep ocean where colours are deeper, darker, but also have flecks of colour and life from the life within.

The piece is composed entirely using oil paints, with a significant amount of layering to give effect to the illusion of movement, life and depth that we see staring into the ocean when out at sea.

It is the perfect piece to place somewhere to refresh the mind, stare into the void and be lost in the layers and movement.

The work is signed on the front and has a signed stamp of authenticity on the back of the canvas. The work is varnished and strung with cord, ready for immediate hanging.

The sides of the work are painted to enable immediate hanging, framing is available via Bluethumb or seperate framing (for agreed additional fee based on requirements) can be arranged

This large original oil painting is well suited to a bedroom, living area, office, reception, entry way or office setting.

I am a Western Australian artist. My work can be considered expressionist and at times abstract, it can be bright, intense, dark - but always heavily textured.

My paintings explore and use the materiality of oil paint to capture moments and experiences, nature, sensations and memories - children/pets playing, leaves falling, oceans heaving, coral dancing, sandcastles falling, anxiety, peace and joy.

My processes and techniques use the texture of oil paint, carefully placed and layered with pallet knives and brushes to create the illusion of movement, space and a three dimensionality to evoke feelings and visceral connections of being present in a moment, experience or sensation.

While I primarily work in oil paints I do also enjoy playing with other mediums, particularly charcoal and oil pastels, creating playful works of my children’s leftover fruit – waste not want not!

While I am openly still developing and mastering my processes while completing my studies at Curtin University (OUA) and commence a professional artistic practice, I have been fortunate in selling commissioned artworks, exhibiting in Western Australia and selling work throughout Australia.
