On a roll! continuing my love affair with Ocean / Reef/ Sea themes. I have 2 more completed & sold in the last 3 weeks. Revisiting this ‘older’ style (last time I painted like this was 2017 for the huge commercial stairwell installation ) has been so refreshing. Painting with new perspective, fresh eyes, and a deeper love for my process & my creative journey. Patience & discernment are my biggest learning curves over the last few years, just because my inspo, concept & flow is at a hundred miles an hour, does not mean my process has to be as well. Taking my time with deep consideration.

More on the Paua piece in another dedicated post soon.

Both these pieces have sold. 🙂

Here is my latest painting. I got inspired after a boat company licensed my seabed image for a boat wrap ( will post separately on that) and I felt excited to paint something in that theme & style again. The entire painting (100cm x 75cm) took less than a week, it all came together with an ease & flow of this style that I haven’t tapped into in years. I used acrylics & acrylic inks. A most enjoyable refreshing experience!

Sold 🙂

hi all 🙂

Here is a new series I literally exploded with this last couple of weeks….

it all started with this love affair i have with orbs and/or bubbles and/or planets.

Of course, what evolved was way more than that, my signature ‘swirl’ or koru, made its obligatory appearance and my use of colour was completely in the moment… as is everything i do….

the background of the painting involves lots of water spraying and layering, then I add the design on the top, with colour and shading.
