Just Breathe

Coastal landscape at Christie's Beach, land of the Kaurna people, one of the many beautiful spaces in the stretch of beaches south of metropolitan Adelaide. I was running along the coast and stopped to take it in - hence the title "Just Breathe". Loose, gestural brushwork capture the essence of the scrub in the coastal landscape.

I trained as a ceramic artist but am now enjoying the immediacy of painting. My work explores gesture, emotion and memory, capturing landscapes that for me, evoke memories and feelings of a certain time and place.
The spontaneous nature of my brushwork captures the passing moment spent in a landscape, the feeling and mood that a familiar space provokes. My work is mostly inspired by local landscapes, coastal and bush and the colour palette represents these. My colour palette is intentionally a soft and muted one, from the landscape, which suggests the softening of recollections and memories over time ,
