This collection of paintings is inspired by my experiences this year of travelling across continents and living ‘in between’ places - from the tranquil shores of Pittwater in Sydney to a wild headland above Roaring Beach in Tasmania and finally to Yunosato, a village in the forest in Japan. Even though each place is different in landscape, climate and culture I have found that they have similarities that connect them. Being surrounded by nature and these vast and beautiful environments whilst living in small humble shelters has also given me a sense of feeling grounded in each place.

Through my choice of subject, colour palette and canvas, I have found a link between them. Whether it be the coast and sea, mountains and forest, shack or cabin, the subject of the paintings provides a constant theme. Using the same colour palette gives consistency to this body of work and sourcing and painting them on the unique salvaged wood pieces I found in each location gives a sense of meaning and purpose to my work.

As I have journeyed ‘in between’, I have loved creating this collection of works that tell a story of our travels but also how rewarding the connections are that I have discovered along the way.
