Currents of Change

This series explores my deep connection to ocean, water, and the powerful rhythms that shape both landscape and life. Inspired by journeys through the Kimberley in Australia, and my ongoing relationship with the sea, these works reflect the movement, colour, and emotional energy of water in all its forms.

From shifting tides and unseen cross-currents to moments of stillness and quiet strength, the paintings speak to resilience, transformation, and renewal. Water carries, reshapes, and releases — reminding us that despite turbulence and change, life continues to evolve.

This series invites viewers to feel both the power and serenity of the natural world, and to reconnect with the deeper rhythms that sustain us.
