This work was painted in a period that featured an array of modest, collected treasures from the shoreline world I live in. The shell - perhaps a spider conch - seems to have always been in our possession, its origins unknown. There is so much contrast, shadow, texture to a simple shell that was lovely to depict and even nicer to look upon. It would look lovely framed.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
My ambition is to capture beauty in the everyday. Many paintings share a strong connection to the environment and our place within it.
At the heart of everything is the search for light that transforms the ordinary into something else.
I moved to Warrnambool, on Victoria’s south west, after almost three decades as a newspaper journalist.
In 2020, I completed a Visual Arts Cert IV course at South West TAFE.
I primarily paint with oils in my home studio in a figurative and realism style; influenced by artists whose art features a strong storytelling element such as American, Edward Hopper. After all, all art should speak to its audience. My work has been selected in various well known Australian art prizes, including the Kennedy Prize, John Villiers Outback Art Prize and ANL Maritime Art Award and Exhibition.
