Artwork Description

Crisp sapling trunks bring balance and serenity to the chaos of the understory of the scrub - standing sentinel in the foreground, protectors of the forest. Without beginning or end in the frame, the trunks pull us into the continuum of the forest: past to future, earth to sky. They also bring a sense of design to the artwork, otherwise a tapestry of colour and texture.

I loved the gentle, pale palette in this particular scene, with its subtle nuances of blue-green-greys through to pink earth tones of peach and beige.

This piece is not framed. Edges are finished with neat colour for hanging unframed (Dulux Sea Radish grey-green).

Artist Bio

From my studio in Canberra, Australia I work to create ethereal abstract nature paintings that echo that feeling of ease and wellness that twinkles through you when you stop in a pocket of forest or under a tree, stepping into Earth’s embrace. I would love to show you around my studio in person. Meantime, please enjoy exploring this virtual shop, zoom in, peer close, and reach out with any questions.

In the tangle of the forest understorey, the connectivity of all things is most apparent to me. The sense of oneness and gentle alive-ness leads me to create layers of subtle, organic marks that invite the viewer in, like we lean in to listen when someone speaks softly. Paint is added or removed, responding to the moment; some things from life, some imagined, as though co-creating, until this pocket of wilderness is formed enough to hold us. Final flecks of colour are allowed to skip across the surface like sunlight on leaf, web or tiny wing. I’m exploring the concept of Nature as divinity, accessed by grounding in the wild-grown Earth that is the ancestral home for our species. The result, I hope, is artwork with a sense of the ethereal; that is somehow both divine-uplift and soft-landing – like opening the door to home.
