The Sea Is Calling
Acrylic on Canvas
Oak frame
125x125cm
$2950
In this moment, heart set free, the sea is calling, beckoning me.
Hopes and Dreams 11:11 is a new series of works that has been manifesting over time. It’s a body of work that reflects an inner struggle to break free against the push and pull of conformity, familiarity and expectations. Both in life and art, there has been a tension between following a proven path and releasing control; sticking to what I know and breaking down walls to allow new energies to flow. These works have emerged as result of this tension, sometimes struggling awkwardly whilst sometimes emerging effortlessly without inhibition. Each of the paintings has a visceral connection to time and space and forms part of my lived experience in finding my way through new chapters.
This exhibition is my first solo show at Mist Gallery and the last before we close the doors to make room for a new chapter.

Whispers of hopes rise like smoke,
Dreams glow, warm and bright.
Inspired by the starry nights at @mistretreat_nimbin with the old Moreton Bay Fig and the rocks in the background. There’s something special about feeling small under a big sky whilst the flames flicker. The vastness of space has soothing qualities.

Coastline
Acrylic on canvas
Oak frame
79x64cm
$1390
Shaped through a passage of time, ebbs and flows, highs and lows, storms and calm waters, turmoil and stability.
Living on the coast of NSW, my practice is influenced by the coast and landscape. By painting the landscape, I have nurtured my sense of place in my new home surrounds. Each painting builds upon the last, relying less on taken images and more on felt experiences and connections. Imagination and heart work together to create a new depth to my practice creating a metaphor for the challenges we face and the push and pull between resilience and vulnerability.
