Ignite Your Passion Through Textures and Colour
Welcome, I’m Ally - An Artist and Ocean Lover!
My work is about connections and evoking emotional responses as much as capturing a sense of place.
A beautiful piece of art can bring energy and personality, welcoming you into your home or office with calm, strong, and engaging paintings.
Let me help you choose the right piece of work from my collection or I can create a bespoke artwork that will be unique to you!
New Exhibitions about to Launch
A Shift in the Light
“These driftwood panels each have their own story—shaped by the sea and time. I work with their textures, bringing to life whales, pelicans, reef fish, and the landscapes of Pittwater. They’re small, intimate works that add character and a touch of the coast to any interior.”
This October I’m excited to share a new exhibition with local artist Andrea Nicholson at The Studio, Avalon. Together we’ll be showing works inspired by the coast and bush—my driftwood panels alongside Andrea’s dynamic mixed media pieces.
A percentage of sales will be donated to One Meal, a charity that supports the homeless and vulnerable in our community.
Join us with Lang + Simmons in supporting this great charity for the opening on 2 October, 5:30 pm, enjoy the art, and connect with our creative community.
Offering an artwork from both artists to someone at the end of the night - You have to be there to be in the draw!
Between the Lines - Seen + Felt
I’m excited to share that I’m preparing a brand-new exhibition soon after with the fabulous Raku ceramic artist Lia Klugman.
Between the Lines — Seen and Felt will run from October 28 – November 2 at Avalon Gallery, Avalon Beach.
This series explores the landscape in two ways:
Seen — recognisable coastal and bushland scenes, rooted in place.
Felt — abstract, gestural works where cyanotype, watercolour, and ink collide in beautiful, unpredictable ways.
Alongside Lia’s striking organic ceramics, the show will celebrate both the tangible and the emotional landscapes we move through every day.
✨ More details (and sneak peeks) coming soon!
