| Leaning into life experiences, grief and situations with a level of rawness. The feeling reminds me of the harsh Australian landscape during a drought; the earth parched and laid bare, trees stripped of leaves waiting for the next cycle of rain and the healing, renewing power of water. As the water trickles through the hard edges, it brings softness, cleansing and new growth. This painting is an exploration of those hard feelings which are part of life and a reminder growth and new beginnings are around the corner. |
