Wind Against Tide Tidal Waves Beach Landscape

This artwork was inspired by the strength of the wonderful movement within oceans and our Australian pristine beaches. Painted while standing on the beach with the wind blowing all around me, The ocean had waves criss-crossing themselves and coming from all directions which made me feel so insignificant against it's might and that's a wonderful thing. My boatie friends said that called Wind against Tide.

This painting has a smooth texture and is protected with a satin varnish.

Based on Coochiemudlo, a smaller island situated approximately a kilometre off the coast of Queensland, between Brisbane and North Stradbroke Island, Millie, an award winning artist, is innately influenced by the abundance of foliage and wildlife that inhabit her locality.
Unbound to a sole medium or creative methodology, her depictions align with the subject’s intrinsic elements and resonance. Millie paints in a way that depicts her thoughts and feelings of the subject, which has helped her tremendously throughout her adult life and experiences.
“There is no grief as you embrace and involve yourself deeply within the subject of your painting,” Millie states after the passing of her only son in 2003. “Painting was a lifesaving form of comfort at the time of my son’s passing, and continues to be up to the present moment.”
Millie possesses a BA in Fine Arts from Charles Sturt University and a Masters in Art Therapy from the University of Queensland.
