Rock-pools
rock-pool collection
The rock-pool collection captures the ebb and flow of our ocean as it flows across the rocky platforms that surround our majestic headlands.
“sea mist”- early mornings on the rocks - SOLD
Created using mixed media, experimenting with pigment and bitumen on board.
“Beyond the edge”- land meets ocean and distant headlands
A mixed media artwork on board, capturing bright spots of colour amidst the weedy platforms after the sea recedes. Distant headlands appear like lines on the horizon
“playing with colour and mark making with pigments and other mediums are an exciting part of exploration on my creative journey”
“Watching the changing textures and colour where land meets sea is always a inspiring place for me.”
When I start a painting, I have a palette in mind, some "tools" I would like to experiment with and sometimes a theme depending if there is a brief..
The ever-changing tides reveal little ecosystems of colour, texture, an oasis of life quietly contained within the ocean pools. Running streams create random patterns on the surface, quiet and calm, fed by the energy from the breaking waves around.
A perfect parallel to our lives, each day often a balance of emotional, highs and lows, finding pleasure in small things and a balance in ourselves through the rhythm of the ocean and the sand beneath our feet.
