STORY
Being inspired by the patterns of nature and the energy, colours and the spaces within the land/seascapes she has so much to explore on the canvas. These creations are her way of dealing with what is going on in her world.Her fatherā€™s sea country is largely void of people now. She travels down as often as time and seasonā€™s permit and as she sees another small sandhill disappear and a little less life on the large-scale reefs, she's still in awe of the sheer beauty and in these works she is capturing what is present.When she manipulates the paint, she canā€™t help but be drawn by exotic tropical life. Her culture still holds the stories for the land, and vibrant, bold and captivating colours on the beaches of her fatherā€™s country.'Emotion is my biggest inspiration. This work has optimistic tone like a yellow morning light waking to a cool early sky.I love bringing nature and art together to create a wondrous landscape. I created this piece to invite the viewers to feel the openness of space and enjoy nature's light interplay between colours and shapes.'
