Evoke

"Painting the coast evokes so many feelings within. The process can take me straight back to a time, place, moment, event - a memory that lies dormant within until something in the painting triggers that memory to resurface.

So to 'Evoke. This one flooded the memory bank, evoking so many different emotions: joy at the memories of warm Summers spent in teal waters; sadness at the loss of a loved one who used to treasure the coast like I do; acknowledgement of strength and resilience to health challenges; and now, contentment and hope for the season I'm currently in.

A season where I seek quiet and comfort and can find it here...on an empty, overcast beach, rugged with rocky headlands, where sandy inlets bring refuge and solace from the turbulence of life. Where the threat of rain only lifts my mood not dampens it; a washing away of old hurts and traumas and in it's place, renewal.

Whatever this artwork evokes for you, I hope your response to it's invitation is to pause, reflect, exhale...and find peace and comfort too".

Created with palette knives on high grade artist quality canvas, this artwork is framed in solid Oak and comes satin varnished. It will come with a COA with the artist statement written on the back.

NB: While every effort is made to capture the true colours and details of my artwork, every screen is different and art viewed online does not do my work justice. Slight differences may be evident between a screen image and the true tone and textures of my work, which can be more vivid and beautiful in reality. Scale may also be slightly off due to the insitu art app used, so please ensure you measure your space.

“…painting stories evoking light and hope.”

Sharon Rynehart is an impressionist palette knife artist widely recognised for her flowing, expressive style of the sea, land and sky. A former Interior Designer and Colour Consultant, Sharon had health issues a while ago that saw her turn to painting for therapy and healing. Transforming her creative practice into what she now calls ‘heartwork’; emotive, hope-fuelled pieces inspired by faith, connective memory and experience, and the beauty of our Australian coastlines and landscapes. Sharon uses her background in colour theory to create original artworks with beautiful colour harmonies that allow you to reflect on your own story; to finish the train of thought, to remember a time or place, and to explore and feel the emotions they instill. Artworks that are relatable, that invite you to reflect, force an exhale, evoke a sense of calm…and bring you hope.

Sharon enjoyed recent success as a Finalist in Art to Art’s acclaimed “Unearthed” Art Prize, and has been fortunate to have several of her artworks featured on Channel 9’s “The Block” TV show. She has also had pieces featured in Grand Designs Australia Magazine.
