It's hard to fathom this world is all there is. Especially when we look to the heavens above us, the landscape around us, and the ocean stretched out beyond what we can see.
Breathtaking majesty. Awesome wonder. Timeless beauty. It's infinite. Endless. Vast.
Each morning brings new light - a kiss from heaven. It awakens the sleeping landscape and stirs the oceans. The sun has no choice but to rise, and the tides to ebb and flow.
Each morning a kiss from heaven awakens us too. Rested and renewed we stir, greeted with new morning hope. The day ahead holds fresh opportunities to explore and an array of possibilities we never can predict.
This new artwork was created not only as a reminder of the beauty immediately surrounding us - so easily seen and often taken for granted - but also as an ode to the wonder and beauty in things unseen...in what lies beyond the horizon and above us in the heavens.

A place imagined from the longing for rest and quiet, peace and hope. Soft pinks and soothing greens reveal a coastal sanctuary in which to pause, reflect, breathe and heal. A place where the landscape itself offers stillness and shelter, protection and comfort.
I want to escape to here; to hear nothing but the gentle rustle of trees, and the rhythmic ripple and lull of enduring waves. To feel the dusk breeze awaken my senses, and the warmth of the sinking sun wrap me in an embrace. To see dappled soft light fall on a beautiful coastal landscape that has stood the test of time. Here it is quiet, calm, and my hope is restored, in a hidden sanctuary of solitude and reflection.

There's a quiet that settles over the landscape as the sun says goodbye to the day. Time slows and moods shift as you feel the embrace of silence wrap around you. As the tender warm blush of the sky softens and last light hesitantly lingers, you can't help but exhale.
This sweet little coastal landscape with horses peacefully grazing under a dusk sky evokes all this for me, and I hope for its new owner too. It's a gentle reminder daily to pause, find calm, look for peace, and find contentment in the quiet moments.

We all need a little fresh air at times. For me there's nowhere better to get fresh air than the coast. Salty fresh breezes that awaken senses - especially in summer when they're a welcome reprieve from the harsh Aussie sun. Fresh air here means I can breathe a little easier, reflect a little longer, be still awhile more.

A Little Exhale, because that's what all we need right? Life can be crazy, fast paced, challenging, and it's often difficult to find time to ourselves, but at the coast it's easy to catch my breath and exhale. This pretty mini coastscape is inspired by that exhale. Small, it still makes an impact on my senses, just like the fresh cool sea water and salty breezes meeting rocky shoreline does for me in reality. Especially at sunset under a pink warm sky. I hope it evokes that for you too as it does me.

Summer. What's not to love about summer? Holidays at the beach mean going barefoot on golden sand, fresh aqua waters to cool off in, lush headlands to explore, and pretty pink sunsets that herald cocktail hour.
Sipping bellinis in bikinis, the scent of frangipanis and nibbling on delicious juicy watermelon. Salty breeze, warm sun on skin and the sound of waves meeting shoreline. The smell of sunscreen, colourful umbrellas, and stripy beach towels on which to close your eyes and drown out the rest of the world.
This happy and bright little beachscape with its gorgeous colour harmonies evokes all the things I love about summer, and more.

The beach at sunset is a gorgeous place to be. Last rays of a balmy summer's day refract through waters and across the sandy coastline, bathing everything in a warm golden light. It's a beautiful time to pause a while, ponder the day that's been, and find renewed hope for the next day to come.
This sweet little artwork - perfect to sit as a shelfie or be hung - seeks to capture the few moments of sunset when all is drenched in beautiful light.

This road through picturesque countryside at sunset could be leading anywhere. Whether it's the coast or mountains, small country town or a big city, to home or holidays, the scenery to get there can be "...oh, so beautiful".
It's often the journey that builds the anticipation for me, so when I get to witness spectacular sunsets like this while driving through rolling hills and velvet like valleys, it's something so beautiful indeed. It's a few beautiful moments to ponder all things life; to reflect, to be grateful, to find contentment, these moments fuel hope, encourage us, and inspire us as we journey forward.

Skies like these over the landscape below urge a gentle pace. To slow down, breathe, absorb the beauty and wonder of our beautiful countryside. Wrapped in a warmth, feeling small against a vast backdrop, but content and encouraged by the last golden rays sweeping across the sky as the sun says goodbye for another day. Time to reflect, ponder, be kind to one self, and go gently into the next season.

‘The coast carries a pulsating rhythm that tends to awaken even the most weary soul'. This statement is certainly true for me. Every tide shifting, every wave crashing, every breeze felt, every heartbeat speaks of rest, hope, joy and renewal.
This place offers refuge and sanctuary. It's both timeless and alive. It's where my spirit can exhale, where I find contentment, where I feel at peace, and where restoration can begin.
With every heartbeat I rediscover purpose, strength, resilience and, most importantly, hope.

Awash with light, shifting hues and layered textures, this pretty coastal landscape reflects the quiet hush of open space and the embrace of warm light. Evoked by those fleeting golden moments of sunrise or sunset that seemingly soften the boundary between land, sea and sky - grounded yet ethereal in nature. As tides rise in coastal inlets and the sun starts its ascent or descent over ranges, I can't help but pause in the stillness, listening to the silence...hush.
