Salt Path

Salt Path

Inspired by a walking track leading to one of the Mornington Peninsula's most beautiful stretches of coastline, The Way Down captures the anticipation and quiet excitement of approaching the ocean.

This contemporary minimalist landscape distils the experience into its essential elements: the winding sandy pathway, coastal vegetation, expansive turquoise water and endless sky. Rather than depicting the location literally, the work explores the feeling of moving towards the sea—the moment before the landscape opens up and the horizon reveals itself.

Created using heavily textured layers of acrylic paint, the surface interacts with light throughout the day, adding depth, movement and character. The restrained palette of coastal blues, soft sand tones and deep green vegetation reflects the natural beauty of the Australian coastline while complementing modern, coastal and postmodern interiors.

Part of an ongoing body of work inspired by the Mornington Peninsula, this piece was influenced by the same local beach currently attracting national attention as the backdrop for the upcoming season of The Block.

This artwork is a one-of-one original painting. No prints, reproductions or editions will ever be produced.

I'm a Mornington Peninsula artist inspired by the natural beauty on my doorstep. My paintings are internal representations of what I experience on walks through lush foliage, along stunning coastlines, and through the abundant flora and fauna of this remarkable region — often with my German Shepherd, Skye, by my side.
Since 2018, I've been creating commissioned art pieces for homes and commercial spaces across Australia. I work with a colour palette that integrates beautifully into the modern and postmodern interiors of Australian homes and spaces. Whether you're looking for a statement piece or a cohesive set for a larger project, I also create custom works and matching collections to suit your vision.

Every artwork I create is an original one-off piece. I do not produce prints, reproductions or limited editions. Each work is signed on the reverse, marked 1/1 and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring collectors acquire a truly unique piece of original Australian art.
