‘Rottnest Swim II’ (2026), 100cm x 100cm acrylic on canvas, mixed media.
Inspired by the annual Rottnest Channel Swim, beginning at Cottesloe Beach and stretching across the open water to Rottnest Island. The cool salt water, soft morning light and steady rhythm of the swim capture the challenge and exhilaration of crossing the channel. The muted blues and blush tones reflect the calm of the ocean, while little flashes of colour hint at the energy, determination and camaraderie that carry swimmers from Cottesloe to the island.
