"Sunset on the Rocks" is a deeply personal exploration of the coastal landscapes that have always captivated my heart, inspired by a photo taken by Lucas Davies. This vibrant seascape painting reflects my fascination with the raw, untamed power of waves crashing against a cluster of rugged rocks, rendered with painstaking attention to detail. The interplay of blue and white hues seeks to convey the ocean's mighty force, merging energy with a serene sense of tranquility.
Over the restless sea, the sky melts from a gentle yellow to a soothing rosy pink, echoing the warmth and calm of a sunset. The grounding, earthy tones of the rocks in the foreground create a compelling contrast against the lively blues and pinks of the ocean and sky. Through this piece, I strive to balance movement and stillness, hoping to transport you to that peaceful shoreline, where the beauty of dusk unfolds.
This painting is a heartfelt celebration of nature's dynamic essence, aiming to evoke the tranquil charm of a coastal scene. It blends realism with a hint of the sublime, a personal embrace of the coastal serenity I cherish.
Please note that all large works can be sold unframed to allow for easier shipping. Please contact me prior to purchase and I will adjust the price to reflect that.

In 2001 I studied Textile Design at Sheridan College Art and Design School. After a couple of years I realized that it was not the right path for me! In 2004 I attended George Brown College majoring in Fashion Design and graduating in 2006. I currently work as a freelance artist and designer.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My ultimate goal as an artist is to interpret my inspiration in a new and interesting way, be it a wildlife, still life or portrait.
In the last few years I have begun to experiment with painting larger, It allows me the freedom to play and express myself with colour and texture on top of my signature of combining loose wet on wet techniques with more tightly detailed work.
Even though my style and I have evolved over the years, what has remained consistent is my goal of showcasing the beauty in the world around us.
