Seashells remind us that every passing life leaves something beautiful behind.
This exhibition is a collection of Soulcircles, abstract contemporary art adorned with seashells. These works are oil on canvas abstract seascape paintings, with seasalt and some adorned with seashells that I have foraged off the beach in front of my studio, Geraldton, Western Australia.
I love the idea that there's a sense of literally embodying the sea in my art with their inclusion. The seashells offer a healing essence and remind us that every passing life leaves something beautiful behind. Created within transcendent circles, a sacred symbol of life and soul, my ‘Soulcircles’ offer a path inwards. Each work evolves from an intuitive free flow, I’m deeply inspired by the sea and believe in its ability to soothe our soul and transform our lives. They are like landscapes of the soul. I don't plan my painting, it's all about just going with the flow. Sometimes, though, it's amazing what symbols, colours and shapes appear within the soul circle all by themselves and offer some fascinating insights.
