The Movement of Water

Upon moving to Victoria in 2021, my painting practice took a new shape. I entered an almost obligatory period of landscape painting, as so many have done when moving to the coast. I became fascinated with observing the movement of the water and the changing tides.

I brought that fluidity and movement to my canvas through the use of line, shape, and colour. I created a series of hand painted patterns specific to this place through observing my surroundings, and I mimicked the repetition of the waves through mark making.

I took pause in the meditative process of hand painting a pattern, which created a feeling of calm similar to looking out over the ocean.
