About the artwork:

This painting of Smiths Beach in Yallingup captures that unmistakable meeting point between calm and power, the green translucence swell of the wave gathers itself before folding into white foam. It’s the kind of wave that feels close enough to hear that soft roar layered with the fizz of salt water hitting the shoreline

About the artist:

This body of work grew from Emma's deep connection to the Western Australian coastline, the places she has walked, breathed in, and returned to across the seasons. These scenes hold the quiet moments that shape her life, early mornings with her son catching on camera the soft pink blush of a new day and the hush that settles before first light. The shifting moods of the sea continue to anchor her, and she created these pieces to honour those fleeting, intimate experiences and to reflect the sense of grounding she finds in these coastal places.
