Swimming through the Garden Painting

“Swimming through the Garden” is inspired by recent scuba dives in the Philippines. In this latest series UNDERCURRENT I’m really enjoying focusing on the amorphous and fluid shapes and lines of the coral tendrils growing in twisted weird directions underwater, of the moving translucent light through the ocean, and the bright colours of healthy coral. I am fortunate to have spent a lot of time diving in the past decade. I love how the ocean currents creates constant ebb and flow, the swirling fish, the moving coral tentacles in the ocean currents, bubbles from breathing underwater, and the shimmering movement of sea life. This painting seeks to convey the mood and spirit of the reef, of how I feel when I’m diving ~ while also exploring light and colour. I am a Sydney based artist with a deep affinity with the land and ocean. I live and work near Manly beach and have been painting professionally for over 27 years. I paint most days in a large warehouse where I also sell my artworks to the public, corporate and interior designers. I travel extensively to experience and sketch in remote areas throughout Australia & overseas when I can. My works are expressions of my experiences and what I feel and see while being at one in nature - above or below the sea. I started my meditation journey when I was nineteen and I love to be in connection with the land and sea. I seek to understand what lies beneath the observable, reflecting the ebb and flow of nature with its delicacy & strength, mysteries & contrasts. This is what I love to create and what I would like the viewer to feel - that feeling of awe, peacefulness and unity while swimming through the coral gardens in the middle of the ocean. I hope we keep the World’s reefs safe and protected and do all we can do to allow them to flourish.
