AN ODE TO THE SEA.
2021/22 Collection
Original works on paper, created over a challenging few months. The last couple of years have been difficult for all of us for all different reasons, but during this time I weathered a very personal storm. My future as a mother was looking grim – something that already felt deeply part of my being. I spent a lot of time trying to reconcile this part of my identity and imagining a life outside of this. Failure and grief became this repetitive cycle. Eventually, in what felt like a complete a miracle, new life grew in my belly. During those hard days, I spent a lot of time alone with my own thoughts and in the company of a few trusted friends and family. I made little notes of sentiments I learned during this season about healing, resilience and hope.
My work has never been overly conceptual but I can’t help but allow my emotions to creep in. I think you can really see it in these pieces. I spend so long with them that I truly leave a piece of my heart with every pencil stroke.
Each original artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity and a handwritten note. Every print is limited edition, signed and numbered by me.
I hope you enjoy them.

‘Washed’
Pencil on Cold pressed Cotton Paper
A soft take on a stormy sea, with gentle light shining through the clouds, a clearing of the mind, and heaviness washing away.
Original artwork and limited edition prints available.
570 x 220mm (unframed)
‘Remedy’
Pencil on Cold pressed Cotton Paper
I started this piece in the midst of one of the most anxious weeks of my life. I was probably feeling a little melodramatic, drawing heavy thunderous clouds. However, by the time I finished the piece, the storm had cleared. It’s a reminder of how quickly things can change, just as quickly as a storm can come, so it can fade away.
*Can be framed ‘floating’ to show the deckled edge, as pictured, or with a mat for a clean edge finish.
Original artwork and limited edition prints available.
565 x 350mm (unframed)
‘In the silence’
Pencil on Cold pressed Cotton Paper
Drawn from my archive of photographs of the sea near our home in Brisbane. These are moments of quiet and thoughtful solitude. This piece is heavily detailed, with subtle peach and gold tones woven throughout the waves, among my signature moody blues.
*Can be framed ‘floating’ to show the deckled edge, as pictured, or with a mat for a clean edge finish.

‘Growing I, Citrus x Meyeri’ /
‘Growing II, Citrus X Sinensis’
Signature Blue - Pencil on Nude paper
I wanted to include these two works that are not seascapes but still representative of this phase of my life. I have been exploring botanical illustration over the past year, and it felt right to create these two blooming citrus trees. Growing: Citrus x Meyeri and Citrus x Sinensis, or Meyer Lemon and Orange blossom trees.
Original artwork and limited edition prints available.
