‘High Tide’ (2022), 120cm x 120cm / 47”x 47” acrylic on canvas, oil pastel. (Tasmanian oak frame).

This painting is a meditation on life’s ebbs and flows. If you know me, you know how much I connect with our oceans. I’ve lived all over Australia, but always near water – it’s part of me. I love its immeasurable depths, the power of its crash into a seaside cliff, the gentleness of its caress on a moonlit beach. No matter what turmoil life brings, time with the ocean will calm me; a balm for any foul mood or wounded spirit. We so fortunate to have such magic at hand.
