Becoming Innercape

This painting captures the moment just before connection, when sky and sea reach for each other, suspended in a graceful almost-touch. In this work, deep ocean hues anchor the composition while luminous crescents of peach, lavender, and pale blue spiral upward in a dance of energy and air.

Part of the Innerscape series, this piece leans more abstract, inviting the viewer into a space beyond horizon lines, a place where water becomes sky, and emotion becomes motion. The layered wisps suggest movement, transformation, and a rising from within.

Painted in oil on canvas, this work holds a duality of lightness and depth, where power is felt not in force, but in flow. It speaks to longing, elevation, and the quiet momentum of becoming.

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.
