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!

Heading to the Lighthouse

"Heading to the Lighthouse" captures the essence of the journey up Barrenjoey Headland—a path well-trodden, rich with history, and rewarded by breathtaking views. Whether gazing up toward the iconic lighthouse or recalling the sweeping panorama from the summit, this piece invites you to relive the beauty of Pittwater, the Hawkesbury, and the vast coastline beyond. A timeless landmark of the Northern Beaches, Barrenjoey is a place of reflection, adventure, and connection to the land and sea.

Please reach out if you're looking for a specific subject or would like to explore more of my work.

Summer Storms

Lately, the weather has been a dynamic mix of wind, rain, and sunshine, shaping the ever-changing beauty of Pittwater Bay. I love those moody mornings when the sky is heavy with shifting clouds, and the first light catches the edges of the land, revealing a quiet strength and resilience. In this piece, I’ve captured that moment—before the skies clear, before the day fully awakens—when nature feels raw and full of possibility. If you’re drawn to the atmosphere of this landscape or are looking for a specific piece, I’d love to share more of my work with you.

Let me know if you’d like any tweaks!.

Contours of the Coast

For those who visited my recent exhibition, you might have noticed my passion for mixed media. There’s something captivating about exploring the interplay of different pigments and textures to create multi-layered, richly textured works. Before starting a new piece, I carefully choose my materials and consider where the artwork might be displayed, thinking about how it will enhance its surroundings. My aim is always to capture a specific moment or place in time. It's fascinating to see how each piece transforms with changing light, revealing hidden details. It’s a delight when collectors tell me how they’re drawn to the ever-evolving nature of my work, discovering something new every time they see it.

Keep watching to see how this series evolves.
