Artwork Description

Soft with infant regrowth the forest suckles of its creek, as cool grasses salve the scars of bushfire.

This piece was done a few months after the bushfires of 2020. The incredible green in the foreground took my breath away and I adored the crisp reflection of green on the water surface. The foreground has a crimson underpainting to really make the green pop against its complimentary red.

It's on quality unstretched, triple primed Italian linen for superior surface. Unstretched is also ideal if you're sending overseas as it's easy and cheap to package.

It will require framing. There is around 7cm of spare canvas around the edge to accommodate just about any framing choice. You can choose a frame through Bluethumb, which can be organised prior to delivery or ask me about having the piece stretched for you.

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.
