Rhythm of the ocean

Moving to the stunning Mornington Peninsula*, with the constant sea breeze, ocean vibes and incredible look-outs. For me as an artist this a beautiful area to settle in and I’m overwhelmed by the abundance of nature filling my basket, full of inspiration.

*I acknowledge the Bunurong / Boon Wurrung people, the traditional custodians of these lands and waters of which I work and gather, and pay out respect to elders past, present and emerging. I feel privileged and grateful that I may live here for a while.
