Soapy Rocks - Anglesea

Do you have that happy place where whenever you go there you just feel at peace? Soapy Rocks is that place for me. Whenever I visit Anglesea on the Surfcoast at the start of the Great Ocean Road, I walk down to the lookout above Soapy Rocks and you can see all the way along to Anglesea Beach and Pt Addis and look the other way and you can look down to Point Roadknight. But Soapy Rocks is the sweet spot in the middle where you can see the deep blue ocean stretching to the horizon contrasted with the red, orange and peach coloured rocks dotted with all different kinds of native plantlife. This painting is acrylic on a deep stretch canvas and is ready to hang.

Rachel Rae has been creative throughout her life, but whilst living in Spain in an apartment overlooking the ocean she was inspired to dedicate her time to focus on her painting art practice. Being an avid traveller and walker, Rachel Rae witnesses many life moments which is the inspiration for her artwork, painting personal records of flora, fauna, people and landscapes.

Rachel Rae paints in acrylics, quickly highlighting the movement of the landscape in a stationary painting, fascinated by the movement of nature contrasting with the static man-made objects and how humans, animals and nature co-exist. However by spending the time to paint the smaller details and minutiae, it allows time for reflection during the process. Capturing personal records of the flora, fauna, people and landscapes in life’s moments creates a memory and connection to past and present experiences.
