Artwork Description

Still Calm is a semi-abstract seascape exploring the moment when the world seems to pause — when the light softens, the air quietens, and the ocean holds its breath. The painting is inspired by the Western Australian coastline, where shifting weather and brilliant light create endless variations of mood and colour.

Using layers of oil paint, blended brushwork and gestural marks, Rebecca Hayes captures both the strength and serenity of the sea. Deep blues merge with soft aqua tones, and the warmth of the rocks anchors the composition against the open sky. The horizon glows faintly, hinting at the light after a passing storm.

This piece balances realism and abstraction — recognisable landscape forms dissolve into atmospheric colour fields, allowing the viewer to feel rather than simply see the place. It invites quiet reflection and calm, bringing the essence of the coast into any interior space.

Ideal for collectors who appreciate expressive Australian landscapes, contemporary seascapes and artworks that hold emotion through simplicity and tone.

Artist Bio

Hello, and thank you for being here — it truly means a lot to me that you’ve taken the time to connect with my work.

I create layered mixed media pieces that explore resilience, serenity, and our deep connection with the natural world. My art is a response to the chaos of modern life — an invitation to pause, breathe, and rediscover the quiet strength that lies beneath the noise.

I live in the Mid West of Western Australia with my mum and my two beautiful, crazy teenagers. Together with our loyal dog Tilly and our hilarious, sensitive goat Charlie, we enjoy a life surrounded by an extraordinary landscape. We are grateful every day to live among the trees and to be greeted each morning by the songs of birds. This connection to place and nature flows into everything I create.

My process begins with words — writing and mark-making that capture how I feel and what I give myself permission to be. These become the unseen foundation of each work. From there, I build layer upon layer using collage, acrylic paint, acrylic ink, oil pastel, chalk pastel, and finally oil paint. Each medium adds its own voice, creating depth and movement while balancing energy with stillness.

The landscapes of Western Australia — from the ancient forms of the Kimberley to the delicate resilience of native flora and birdlife — continually inspire me. These elements ground my practice in place while also carrying universal themes of endurance, connection, and renewal.

My work has been exhibited in group shows, and each piece is presented with care — professionally mounted, framed, and ready for display in homes, galleries, and collections.

At its heart, my art is about offering sanctuary: a moment of reflection and calm within the layers of life. I hope each piece carries with it the same sense of stillness and quiet joy that I find in creating it.

In stillness and joy,
Rebecca
