Earth and Sky

'Earth and Sky' is a round, textured original artwork that brings together grounding earthy browns with softer shades of blue. The contrast between the two creates a sense of balance — steady and calm, without feeling heavy.

Created on a wooden art board using mixed media, the surface is built up by hand using a palette knife, giving the piece depth, warmth, and subtle variation. As light moves across the texture throughout the day, the artwork shifts gently, adding quiet movement and interest.

Designed to sit easily within a space, Earth and Sky works well alongside natural materials and neutral tones, offering a gentle focal point without overpowering the space.

Suzie Firth is a Melbourne-based artist whose practice centres on exploring texture and subtle sculptural painting. Working with mixed media on canvas and wood, her artworks are created to bring a sense of the natural environment inside, adding a quiet, calming presence to a space.

Suzie is often drawn to cohesive colour palettes inspired by coastal and natural landscapes, while remaining open to exploring new tones and combinations as her work evolves. Texture plays a leading role in each piece, with layers built slowly using palette knives and hand-applied techniques, allowing the work to develop intuitively rather than following a fixed plan.

What began as a grounding ritual has become an essential part of her daily life. Each artwork is created in a state of quiet focus, with the intention of offering balance, ease, and a sense of calm to the spaces they live in.
