“resonance”
An art collection that ventures into the profound depths of female emotion, capturing the essence of our intricate inner worlds. Through this series, I aim to unravel the enigmatic interplay between our internal reflections and the facades we present to the outside world.
TEMPEST - AVAILABLE "Tempest" explores the dichotomy of internal storms, using the metaphor of a tempestuous ocean. The woman superimposed on the storm symbolizes the complex nature of human emotions and struggles. From one perspective, the turbulent waves reflect inner turmoil and challenges. Yet, akin to a storm's transformative potential, this chaos also signifies burgeoning strength, resilience, and the drive for change. The storm's aftermath, a tranquil sea, represents the inevitable calm and growth that follows adversity. The piece prompts viewers to contemplate their own storms—how they perceive and navigate personal struggles—and invites them to find strength and purpose within, embracing the transformative power of adversity. Ultimately, "Tempest" challenges perspectives and illuminates the beauty and growth that emerge from within the tempestuous heart. This piece was the recipient of the Fly Arts Alliance Queensland Regional Art People's Choice Award 2023.
APRICITY - AVAILABLE Stemming from the Latin word apricus, meaning “exposed to the sun,” apricity describes that exhilarative energy we all experience on a clear, crisp day: the warmth of the sun in winter. This piece mirrors the transition from Winter's embrace to Springs Rebirth . It is a reminder of the hope and renewal that comes with change.
YET STILL I RISE - SOLD This piece is dedicated to my sister Emma. My personal superhero. It explores our individual journey and what drives the human spirit to overcome adversity and the darkest of times. It is a message of hope to rise above our obstacles and to channel our inner strength.
UNTAMED - SOLD This artwork was inspired by author Glennon Doyle's incredible book,'Untamed'. If you've read it, you'll know, and if you haven't, you simply must! This piece invites you to explore your inner self, free from external influences and supposed societal norms, to discover your true purpose and desires.
PHOENIX RISING - AVAILABLE This piece captures the essence of personal metamorphosis. Ascending from the flames, this artwork embodies the transformative journey that inevitably follows profound life events. As humans, we have an intrinsic capacity to draw strength from within to navigate challenges and to allow beauty to arise from the crucible of change.
EUDAIMONIA - AVAILABLE Eudaimonia is a Greek word that translates to human flourishing; a contented state of being happy and healthy. With her face tilted towards the sun, the subject is ready to receive what life has in store for her. Her shoulders are softened, and she is unburdened by her past. Her face is free from expression from the impact of her thoughts. She is truly present at that moment. In a word, she is flourishing
PERPETUAL FLOW - AVAILABLE "In 'Perpetual Flow,' I explore the timeless metaphor of water's enduring nature, drawing parallels to the resilience inherent in our lives. Much like water persistently finds its way around obstacles, this piece reflects our own capacity to adapt and overcome challenges. Through the fluidity of the woman's form intertwined with cascading waters, the artwork serves as a reminder of the perpetual and transformative flow within ourselves.
AWAKENED GRACE - AVAILABLE Using the metaphor of peacock feathers symbolizing renewal and spiritual awakening, the artwork prompts contemplation of the beauty inherent in personal transformation. The serene gaze of the subject invites viewers to introspect, encouraging them to ponder whether they are allowing their genuine selves to emerge. This piece aims to evoke a contemplative exploration of self-discovery and the unfolding of one's authentic essence.
