Artwork Description

This little seascape was painted with a sense of nostalgia, exploring memories of visiting this beautiful beach (Short Point NSW) for the first time but also reflecting on times past where we had so much freedom to roam... yes this was a lockdown piece.

Short of the Sea is more of a tonal painting than my usual, seeking to capture the mood of the ocean on a cloudy day, but also its beauty.

Artist Bio

Stemming from a childhood spent in the Pilliga scrub, the Australian landscape & flora are the subjects of my heart - wild, unruly, interesting and so beautiful.

Many hours were spent wandering through the bush with my determined and fit Oma who's love of Australian flora & fauna left an imprint on my young soul. She would collect & dry seed pods & flowers, and arrange them so beautifully, I've realised that this is also largely my practice as a person and as a painter.

Today, I have an Australian native garden on the edge of the bush where I gather my seed pods, blooms and foliage to create still life pieces that bring colour and joy into the home. When I'm not working on a still life piece, I am rendering a landscape that has inspired me, the coastline in particular is a constant source of inspiration.

Thank you so much for visiting my profile and thank you to Bluethumb for making it so easy for us to connect.
