My coastal abstract paintings are inspired by my passion for texture, colour, typography, and the overall coastal lifestyle which I have embraced living on the Mornington Peninsula of Victoria, Australia. With camera in hand, my photographic passion of capturing the raw beauty Mother Nature creates over time, rusted metals, peeling paint, anything weathered, all come together once back in the studio, inspiring a style which brings the viewer an adventure in texture, hints of mixed media, a horizon made with genuine music sheets, typography, and numbers, resulting in pieces that truly captivate the coastal lifestyle I have fallen in love with.
Often mistaken for being coloured paper, airbrushed or digital prints, my abstract figurative works are in fact done all by hand in soft pastels capturing the female form with elegance and simplicity. These fabulous drawings started out as a great avenue for me to keep my drawing skill active, and to enjoy a fabulous resource of soft hues to recreate into my coastal works; to now becoming a great passion of mine, an avenue in sharing my love for colour, typography, and numbers.
