From My Easel
This piece was created as an act of meditation and an ode to settling into a new place.
When I first moved to the Margaret River Region, a new friend took me to this magical spot. The Other Side of the Moon isn't widely known beyond the locals, and its raw, rugged beauty and spellbinding turquoise water took my breath away. I painted this work in honour of that friendship and in gratitude for someone sharing one of their most treasured places with me.
Painting it became part of my own process of belonging—of slowing down, noticing, accepting and simply being. I wanted to capture the quiet shifts in light, colour and atmosphere that make this coastline feel so special.
Using a restrained palette and loose, painterly brushstrokes, I hoped to create a sense of distance and stillness, allowing the eye to fill in the details and imagine what it feels like to stand there, surrounded by the vastness of land and sea.
About This Place
Cape Naturaliste is one of the Margaret River Region's most treasured coastal destinations. Home to the iconic Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse, spectacular walking trails and countless secluded coves and beaches, it has inspired generations of artists, nature lovers and hikers.
Every visit feels a little different as the changing light, tides and seasons transform the landscape. I hope this painting captures a little of the peace, anticipation and wild beauty that continue to draw me back to this remarkable place.
