Summer Arrangement

A bright trio of white umbrellas stands neatly along the shoreline, their shadows stretching across a sun-drenched sweep of sand. Behind them, the ocean sways in layered blues, meeting a sky alive with expressive texture and drifting white cloud. Painted with bold, palette-knife strokes this piece captures that perfect moment of beachside calm—an untouched stretch of summer waiting for someone to step in and claim a spot.

I’m a Sunshine Coast artist creating vibrant coastal artwork that explores light, open skies and the quiet rhythm of the sea.

My work is driven by colour, movement and atmosphere, drawing inspiration from the relaxed beauty of Australia’s coastline.

Working primarily in acrylics and soft pastels, I use expressive brushwork and bold colour. Each piece is an interpretation rather than a replication — focused on feeling as much as form.
