Where the tide rests

This painting captures the quiet magic of a rock pool, that small, self‑contained world where water, stone, and life meet. A circular frame of textured rock and organic forms draws the viewer inward, revealing a lush pocket of greenery and soft pink blooms reminiscent of the delicate life that thrives in tidal pools.
Earthy browns blend with deep greens, cool blues, and subtle floral tones, creating a sense of depth and calm. The layered brushwork and natural shapes give the piece a tactile, immersive quality, inviting the viewer to pause as though leaning over a real rock pool and discovering a hidden ecosystem.
Perfect for collectors who love coastal themes, nature‑inspired art, or pieces that bring a sense of serenity and organic beauty into a space. It pairs beautifully with natural interiors, warm timbers, and beach‑inspired styling.

I’m a self‑taught artist living on the beautiful Gold Coast, where the beach, rockpools, bushland, and all things nature constantly inspire my work. I’ve dreamed of becoming an artist since Year 3, and now that my kids are older, I’m finally finding the time to create again. I work mainly with acrylic paint, but I also love drawing with pencils and charcoal, and I’ve created many portraits over the years. My art is a reflection of the places I love and the moments that spark my imagination.
