Artwork Description

Shedding Season was created through multiple layered applications of flowing acrylic, building depth, texture and movement across the canvas. Sweeping blues and teals move like water or wind through a shifting landscape, evoking the energy of ocean currents and nature in motion.

Inspired by the closing of the Year of the Snake, the work speaks to release — letting go of what no longer fits so something new can emerge.

A subtle red slither weaves upward through the composition, snake-like in form, symbolising shedding, renewal, and the wisdom carried forward into a new cycle. Scattered accents of warm gold and crimson flicker throughout, like falling leaves or embers, bringing warmth and vitality to the cooler tones.

A quiet reminder as we move toward the Year of the Fire Horse:
clear space, trust the process, begin again.

Original acrylic on canvas.
Comes ready to hang and includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

Artist Bio

I’m a full-time abstract and expressive artist based in Melbourne, creating vibrant, textured acrylic paintings that radiate joy, calm and uplifting energy.

Inspired by nature, colour, and my own healing journey with long Covid, my work explores renewal, flow and emotional well-being.

Previously a psychologist and author of Finding Your WellBeing, I bring a deep understanding of the connection between art and mental health to each piece. Every artwork is created with care, intention and a belief in the power of colour to restore and uplift the spaces we live in.
