Artwork Description

Born of the mountain, this sweet creek gurgles and tinkles its way through the forest - bringing refreshing cool and life-giving water…

These pieces are an extension of my Sapling Forest series, remembering my love of forest creeks and their special role in the ecosystem. They are all about softness and depth, using lost-and-found edges to merge the creek with its forest host, and letting the forest blend away into timelessness. Thin layers allow light to bounce back from the white canvas so the forest feels lit from within. Water wash is used to create beautiful, blended tones in organic patterns on the tree trunks.

This piece is not framed. Edges are finished with neat colour for hanging unframed (Dulux Sea Radish grey-green).

Artist Bio

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.
