AFTER THE RAIN

Morning Rising, In Soft Shadow & Echo

There’s a stillness that settles once the rain has passed, when the earth exhales and everything feels washed and new. After the Rain captures this quiet shift. Through abstracted landscapes, neutral tones, and softened textures, each piece traces the subtle beauty that emerges in the wake of change.

Anchored by The Veil, the collection reflects on moments where clarity begins to surface, when the light returns, not with drama, but with grace. It’s a gentle study of what comes into focus when we allow space, silence, and softness to take hold.

These works don’t demand attention, they offer it. A slow unfolding. A softened edge. A return to the quiet.

In Soft Shadow

There’s a kind of beauty that only reveals itself in the quiet, in the dim light that follows a storm, or the gentle hush of a clouded afternoon. In Soft Shadow captures that tender in-between.

Layered with muted earth tones, soft greys, and gentle movement, the work speaks to the moments we retreat inward. where clarity comes not from brightness, but from stillness.

It’s a meditation on depth, resilience, and the quiet comfort of being held by something unseen.

The Veil

At the heart of After the Rain, The Veil captures the sacred shift that happens once the storm subsides. With layered tones of soil, stone, and sky, this piece holds the moment mist lifts and the landscape is revealed, softened, reborn, and glowing with quiet clarity.

It speaks to transformation, the invisible line between heaviness and light, between Earth and what lies beyond, where what was hidden begins to shine through. A reminder that beauty often comes just after surrender

In Dappled Light

Painted in soft hues of lavender and mauve, In Dappled Light is a quiet celebration of presence, of wild blooms basking in warm sun, and hiding within the shadows on the forest floor… of hearts gently held in the glow of love. Earthy textures anchor the piece, echoing petals turned skyward and the stillness found beside someone who sees you completely.

It speaks to those fleeting yet eternal moments, when the air is warm, the light is golden, and everything soft within you leans toward the one you love.

Moonlit Whisper

Soft and contemplative, Moonlit Whisper holds the quiet magic of a landscape bathed in gentle nightfall. Hints of earthy moss, warm sienna and the faintest blush tones flicker through the surface like memory, subtle, steady, and grounding. It speaks to the hush that follows a storm, to the stillness where thoughts settle and the heart breathes deeper.

Part of the After the Rain collection, this piece offers a gentle contrast, a duskier, more introspective moment in a series that honours nature’s tender resilience.

Quiet Crossing

Quiet Crossing reflects the tender transition between storm and calm, a passage not marked by fanfare, but by breath, weight, and release.

The layered textures and subdued tones speak to the emotional terrain we move through when shifting from one place within ourselves to another. A painting for the thresholds, for change that comes not with noise, but with knowing.

Morning Rising

Gentle and expansive, Morning Rising captures the first stirrings of a new day. Soft blush, misty neutrals, and shifting strokes create a sense of awakening, not rushed, but unfolding with grace.

It holds the promise of beginning again, of light stretching across familiar ground, and of the quiet strength found in simply showing up to the moment.

Whisper Valley
A soft, dreamlike terrain unfolds across Whisper Valley, where distant hills melt into one another like memories half-remembered. Hushed greens, sandstone tones and gentle ochres drift together in harmony, evoking the quiet rhythm of the land just after rain. It is a piece that speaks in stillness, of morning light on wet earth, of fog lifting, of breath held and released.

This work offers a grounded and spacious calm, inviting reflection and restoration. A gentle echo of nature’s quieter moments.

WHERE THE WILD LIGHT LINGERS

Let’s pick flowers, follow the sun & meet me in the garden

A perfect dance between introspection and lightness, like a hazy summer memory that sits somewhere between reality and dream. For this collection, my intention was to create works which hum with quiet joy, paired with slightly moody, earth-rich tones. A vibe leaning into something both cinematic and poetic, like an A24 film scored by soft folk guitar.

A soft reverie through tangled gardens and golden hour skies, Where the Wild Light Lingers is a love letter to fleeting moments, warm grass under bare feet, the hush before a summer storm, wildflowers gathered from the forest floor by hand.

Each piece moves like a folk melody, moody yet hopeful, tender and untamed. There’s a quiet cinematic quality here, where memory and imagination blur.

Inspired by indie music and dreamlike-rich-in-colour film stills, this collection captures the kind of light that finds you in the most unexpected moments and places.

This collection is likely to be an ongoing, open piece of work… its the kind of magic that happens when the mood is just right and I want to stay open to that, for the invitation for creation to always be there.

LET’S PICK FLOWERS
Deep, grounded green pulling through, layered with the softest dusk mauves and ochre-washed blushes. It feels like movement through tall grass, stained fingertips, the hush of something shared without speaking.This piece carries the feeling of a slow wander… hands brushing past tall grass, petals collected like secrets, the warmth of late light stretching across your skin. Let’s Pick Flowers is both an invitation and a memory: of afternoons spent gathering beauty without hurry, of laughter carried on the breeze, and wild things left unspoken.

With rich moss greens, soft petal tones, and sun-warmed earth beneath it all, this work holds space for both nostalgia and play. A moment of stillness. A pause in motion. A love note to the wild.

MEET ME IN THE GARDEN
There’s a quiet invitation in this piece, to step barefoot into wildness, where the light filters through leaves and the air smells of memory. Meet Me in the Garden captures a fleeting moment: soft blooms in shadow, sun-warmed earth, and that stillness you find when time feels suspended.

A moody palette of moss, mauve, and sun-stained ochre speaks to afternoons spent gathering wildflowers, lost in thought, wrapped in golden silence. It’s a love letter to nature’s quieter places, and the ones we long to share them with.

BENEATH THE PINES

This piece hums with quiet shelter. Lavender-shadowed light, softened blue, grounding greens. It feels like stepping into a forest cathedral: still, fragrant, deeply personal.

There’s a hush that settles in the understory… the kind of quiet that makes you listen differently. Beneath the Pines captures sacred stillness: dappled light on skin, the scent of earth and resin, a moment suspended in soft shadow.

Lavender and slate tones meet grounding greens and soil-warm browns, evoking the hush of a forest afternoon where thoughts slow and senses sharpen. This piece is an ode to sanctuary, the kind you find not in grand places, but in the gentle shelter of trees.

FOLLOW THE SUN

A glow from within. Buttery ochre paired with lavender and sage feels like a day slipping toward golden hour. A moment on the cusp of light, not loud, not rushed, just quietly radiant. A quiet warmth moves through this piece, like chasing light across a field, letting it kiss your shoulders and guide your way home.

Follow the Sun is a soft unfolding, an ode to the slow arc of the day and the comfort found in letting yourself be led by beauty.

With sun-glazed amber, petal mauve, grounding greens and shadowed plum, it evokes the feeling of moving through nature with nowhere to be, but present. A gentle reminder that light is always shifting — and so are we.

BETWEEN THE SILENCE & STORM

“Between the Silence and the Storm” is an exploration of emotion in its rawest, most honest form — a journey through the ebb and flow of inner worlds.

Painted entirely in earthy, neutral tones. From soft washes of sand and clay to rich, grounding hues of deep brown, each piece reflects a moment along the spectrum of feeling. Some works speak in whispers: soothing, subtle, and still. Others roar with deeper pigment, bold organic strokes, and the energy of unrest, capturing the beautiful mess of processing, shifting, and becoming.

With no hard lines, only movement and rhythm, this collection mirrors the way we carry chaos and calm side by side. It is both grounding and evocative, a visual map of moods, moments, and memory unfolding across time.

THE YARRA TRAIL COLLECTION

Step into the stillness of both dusk and dawn along the Yarra Trail, where nature whispers in shifting tones and fleeting moments.

This evocative collection captures the ever-changing hues of eucalyptus leaves as they fade from vibrant green to dusky pinks and muted purples - mimicking the hues of the soft eastern sky at dusk. Each brushstroke echoes the gentle rustle of crisp leaves underfoot, the distinct scent of Eucalypts in the air, and the melodic call of magpies perched high in the canopy. Warm golden wattles bloom against the fading light, as the sky melts into dreamy shades of blush and violet.

Rooted in memory and movement, The Yarra Trail Collection invites you to experience the quiet poetry of the Australian landscape, a sensory and emotional expression of harmonious blend of texture, colour, and emotion that brings the outside in. 

Morning Muse

A gentle beginning — Morning Muse captures the hush of early light filtering through eucalyptus branches. Soft strokes of earthy browns and misty neutrals evoke the quiet promise of a new day. It’s a tribute to those peaceful, soul-nourishing moments when the land awakens and breathes with you.

Wattle Bloom

Golden tones burst across the canvas in a celebration of Australia’s native beauty. Wattle Bloom is an ode to resilience and brightness, with vibrant warmth peeking through muted hues — much like the wattle itself, blooming boldly through even the harshest seasons.

Magpie Song

Melodic and grounding, Magpie Song holds the essence of those familiar morning calls that echo through the bush. Expressive brushwork mirrors the ebb and flow of birdsong, layered with contrast and harmony, a reminder of connection to place and sound - the call of the Australian bush

The Yarra Trail

A sensory journey through winding river paths, The Yarra Trail captures the textured beauty of walking through the country, the crunch beneath your feet, the shifting dappled light, with the presence of something deeper in the landscape. It speaks of belonging, memory, and quiet reverence.

River Walk

River Walk drifts gently through muted blushes, soft lilac, and grounded earthy greens — a visual echo of the Yarra’s quiet rhythm as it winds alongside worn bushland paths. The brushstrokes move like water — fluid yet grounded — evoking the feeling of walking slowly beside the river’s edge, with leaves crunching underfoot, immersed in stillness and shifting light.
It is a piece that invites presence — a pause, to feel the weight of the earth beneath your feet, and to remember the quiet beauty of moving forward with ease.

Pristine Waters

Crisp, cleansing, and still — Pristine Waters invites pause. It reflects the clarity found in untouched places, where water carves through earth with grace and quiet strength. With subtle shifts in tone and texture, this piece captures the sacred stillness of nature in balance.

QUIET WILDERNESS

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately…”
– Henry David Thoreau

“Quiet Wilderness” is a contemplative body of work exploring the profound need for solitude and reconnection with nature as a means of healing and rebirth. Each piece evokes the stillness of moonlit landscapes, the whisper of trees, the green hush of earth’s breath, and the sacred space between dreams and waking life.
Through abstract textures and muted tones, this collection — where silence speaks, the moon listens, and the self is quietly restored.

Using abstract textures and a muted palette of green, mauve, and shadow, each piece becomes a visual diary of emotional retreat and invites you into a liminal space between dreaming and waking, light and dark, solitude and serenity

Conversations Without Words

The quiet centre of the collection, where everything is said without sound.

Conversations Without Words is a meditation on connection beyond language. Through layered mark-making and restrained composition, it expresses the unspoken, the glance, the presence, the energy we feel when words fail.

It holds the power of stillness. The kind of communion that exists between trees, between lovers, between a person and themselves when all else falls away.

This piece invites you to listen differently. To feel the spaces in between. To remember that silence can be just as full as sound, and often, more truthful.

Only In My Dreams

A gentle drifting, this piece lives in the in-between.

Only In My Dreams is a reflection of the subconscious: fleeting, poetic, hard to hold. It moves like mist through memory, evoking the sensation of something felt more than known.

Painted with softness and intuitive motion, it captures the surreal clarity of dreams, where emotions are heightened, logic dissolves, and we glimpse truths we may never articulate in waking life.

This piece is a portal, a pause, an invitation to surrender to the spaces just beyond reach. A knowing that change is necessary, an aching longing and for a space and life you have never known.

Talking to the Moon

A nocturne for the soul — this piece captures the sacred ritual of speaking into the night.

Talking to the Moon is an ode to the conversations we have when no one else is listening. In the hush of darkness, under silver light, we pour out truths too tender for daylight. This work holds that intimacy, a space where longing meets surrender, and reflection feels safe.

With its shadowed tones and delicate illuminations, it invites the viewer into their own quiet dialogue with something greater, softer, unseen.

It is less about answers, and more about being heard, even by the moon and stars.

The Colour of Green

A grounded meditation on renewal, this piece honours nature as sanctuary, as salve.

The Colour of Green speaks to the quiet, restorative energy found in the earth’s embrace. Rich in textured layers and rooted hues, it evokes moss underfoot, leaves in dappled light, and the pulse of life beneath the surface.

This work is about emotional refuge, the way nature holds us when we have nothing left to hold ourselves. It’s the moment your feet touch soil after a storm; the inhale of eucalyptus after tears.

Here, green is more than colour, it is breath, earth, softness, healing.

For You, For Me

This work is a quiet meditation on the gentle relationship between self-healing and emotional generosity.

“For You, For Me” reflects the idea that taking space for ourselves — to rest, to breathe, to mend — is not an act of retreat, but an offering.
Through soft, layered textures and a subdued, nurturing palette, this piece captures the essence of personal restoration and the way it quietly overflows into how we care for others.

When we tend to ourselves, we restore the well from which we give.
When we choose solitude, we return more present.
When we heal inwardly, we love outwardly — more fully, more freely.

This painting embodies that exchange.
A visual poem to the truth that what we do for ourselves, we ultimately do for those we love
