Triple Perch

Three seagulls stand in quiet formation against a vivid field of textured yellow, their white feathers catching hints of blue, grey, and reflected light. Beneath their perch, abstract strokes of deep navy, ochre, and red break apart like weathered paint on an old jetty, creating a sense of movement and coastal grit.

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.
