This piece is based on my favourite tree on the Bayside trail walk. It represents resilience against the brutal ocean wind, bending but refusing to break. In 2023 I made a lifestyle change for my physical and mental health, cutting out sugar and getting up an hour early every morning (wind, hail or shine) to walk. This tree is a reminder that nobody is coming to push us to be better, to exercise, to get out of bed, to try new things, that we only have ourselves. No one is coming to do it for us. This tree has watched me on this journey and represents that drive, determination and perseverance.
No One is Coming

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Liz is an Australian artist based in Black Rock, Victoria, specialising in geometric abstract and mixed media, using acrylic and origami paper on canvas.
Deeply influenced by the remote natural landscape surrounding her childhood home in Northern Tasmania, Liz also studied the Japanese language as a child and draws on her passion for Japanese culture through inclusion of origami paper and gold leaf as a reference to Kintsugi (the art of repairing broken pottery).
Liz’s technique involves drafting then filling geometric angles, progressively creating a gradient of depth and movement. She uses painting as a form of meditative expression and seeks to create pieces that inspire calmness and evoke an appreciation for the beauty of nature.
“I love to consider how light reacts in different environments. The geometric angles are intended to convey the strength of the subject and my appreciation for simplification and structure.”
