“Where the Earth Breathes” (was Blue Azure) 140 x 140cm
Sand, acrylic, glitter & paste
This work captures the expansive calm and meditative clarity of the Yallingup coastline. The caves beneath and the coastline above, the living connection of land, air, and water. Through layered hues and textured depth, it invites a sense of strength, stillness, and reflection, a quiet emergence from nature’s infinite rhythms. Inspired by @saltywings photography, it’s a reminder of how beauty and gratitude rise when we immerse ourselves in the natural world.
Sand, Acrylic & Gold dust
A moment of raw release, a monochromatic embodiment of instinct, power, and freedom. This horse, stripped of colour and distraction, becomes a mirror of what lies beneath the surface: the untamed spirit we often keep restrained. Originally a woman’s face, her traces still move through the mane, a reminder that emergence often comes through transformation. Inspired by Dark Horse by @hind.yugm.
Acrylic, gold dust, floor & sand
Inspired by Australian photographer Narelle Hughes, this work captures the stark beauty of the salt lake at Port Augusta and its blush skies, native bush, and rusted remnants resting in stillness. The landscape holds both stone and strength, a quiet tension between what endures and what fades. A meditation on memory and the strange elegance found in between.
Sand & Acrylic
Inspired by a photograph by Gunther Deichmann, this piece reflects on the future carried within the faces of Australia’s First Nations children. As a South African–born artist, I approached it with deep respect and curiosity, drawn to the beauty, spirit, and resilience that live in their eyes. It’s about connection, protection, and the belief that from every history, a new strength emerges.
Sand, Acrylic, Ink and love
A bold, emotive celebration of the Australian native Banksia. Rendered in radiant, high-impact colour and thick impasto, the single bloom stands as a symbol of resilience and renewal.Set against a luminous wash, the work honours beauty in complexity, a conscious turning toward love over fear, chaos, or despair. This is a painting that declares itself through texture and tone, a burst of joy, defiance, and hope.
