Artwork Description

This area is rejuvenating after the 2020 bush fires, and I adored the joyous, promising feel of the new lime-green grass amassing in the shaded areas and the sweet drifts of crisp white wild flowers making their comeback. The piece has several layers of strong colour under the green to provide depth and richness, and the sense of layers of time as well as to make that green really glow with complementary colours underneath. The underpainting is mostly done with dry-brush acrylic paint. The lush foreground is done with oil paint for their creamy richness to contrast.

The location is Gibraltar Falls in the ACT, which I last painted before the fires in my first Forest Creeks series pieces (see Sold section of my page).

From my studio in Canberra, Australia I work to create ethereal abstract nature paintings that echo that feeling of ease and wellness that twinkles through you when you stop in a pocket of forest or under a tree, stepping into Earth’s embrace. I would love to show you around my studio in person. Meantime, please enjoy exploring this virtual shop, zoom in, peer close, and reach out with any questions.

In the tangle of the forest understorey, the connectivity of all things is most apparent to me. The sense of oneness and gentle alive-ness leads me to create layers of subtle, organic marks that invite the viewer in, like we lean in to listen when someone speaks softly. Paint is added or removed, responding to the moment; some things from life, some imagined, as though co-creating, until this pocket of wilderness is formed enough to hold us. Final flecks of colour are allowed to skip across the surface like sunlight on leaf, web or tiny wing. I’m exploring the concept of Nature as divinity, accessed by grounding in the wild-grown Earth that is the ancestral home for our species. The result, I hope, is artwork with a sense of the ethereal; that is somehow both divine-uplift and soft-landing – like opening the door to home.
