Awakening I

Framed | 152 x 152 cm | Oil on Canvas

A bold yet fluid expression of awakening not just to the world, but to the self.

Awakening I captures the inner shift that happens when we begin to feel more deeply, live more freely, and love more fully. Vivid reds and passionate pinks evoke vitality and strength, while soft coral and peach tones bring balance and tenderness. Like a rising tide, it moves with emotion, a visual breath that expands across the canvas.

Inspired by the wild beauty of Australia’s west coast, this piece carries the essence of the ocean - powerful, liberating, and quietly healing.

Let this work be a reminder of your own strength, aliveness, and the freedom that lives within.

Lynda Howitt is an Australian abstract artist based on Western Australia’s coast, known for her SoulCircles and atmospheric abstract seascapes. Her work is created in presence — intuitive, fluid, and guided by stillness, water, and breath.

Her SoulCircles are delicate ink works formed in flow, exploring stillness as a living force. Alongside these, her larger oil paintings draw from the rhythm, light, and expansive clarity of the ocean — expressive yet grounded, abstract yet deeply felt.

Howitt’s practice is intuitive and sensory. She does not pre-plan her compositions; each work emerges from the moment itself, capturing movement, depth, and a quiet emotional resonance.

She has exhibited extensively across Australia and internationally, with works held in private and public collections including the Royal Hospital for Women and the City of Greater Geraldton. Her career includes winning one of Australia’s richest art prizes, alongside a previous background in creative direction and design — a foundation that continues to inform the refinement and clarity of her work.

Her paintings are meditations in form — explorations of flow, presence, and the art of being.
