Where new paths gather

‘Where New Paths Gather’ is an uplifting aerial landscape painting that is a celebration of possibility, connection, and the many journeys that shape our lives. Inspired by the vast Australian Outback, the artwork unfolds from an aerial perspective, where winding creeks, shifting contours, and open horizons converge across the landscape, creating a tapestry of movement and renewal.
