Artwork Description

Sunday afternoon, Manly pier, December 2023.

The skin on the people glows like peaches, downy and warm. Four girls prance by the water’s edge, hugging themselves dry inside fluffy towels, like cosy and contented chicks. One then stretches her arms out like a cormorant, revealing the name ‘Rusty’.

Perfection. A fleeting but golden moment with Rusty and Co:

The happy Sunday humans by the pier.

NOTE: the artist can arrange framing for you and help you to style a location for your piece. Message her to discuss.

Artist Bio

BEYOND THE SEE

I paint images that sit somewhere between realism and dreams. I’m influenced by memory, mythology and the magical realist tradition.

Early in my career, I worked as a newspaper photographer and journalist. I inherited from that experience a tendency to crop in hard and look for strong, immediate compositions.

Long periods of travel and immersion in other cultures, particularly in Latin America, opened up for me different ways of experiencing and understanding reality.

The work of Henri Rousseau and Frida Kahlo is among my influences. What draws me to their work is a way of seeing and feeling beyond the surface — allowing imagination, feeling, symbolism and sensuality to coexist with the observed world.
