‘Sydney to Hobart I’ (2022), 100cm x 100cm acrylic on canvas, graphite, oil pastel, pencil. Unframed

Sydney to Hobart I

These paintings tell a story of Aussie pride, a feeling that overwhelmed me as I reflected on my 2022. The Sydney To Hobart Yacht Race every Boxing Day showcases amazing skill and endurance through treacherous waters. I’ve watched on both ends of the Bass Strait, as elegant vessels leave Sydney Harbour, and as only the grittiest among them arrive at Constitution Dock. It has always filled me with admiration and resolve to witness the adversity we can overcome.
