About the artwork:

The waves at Smiths Beach Yallingup send a fine salt spray drifting into the cool winter air, catching the last traces of fading light. Along the shoreline, the foam gathers in soft shifting patterns, pushed and pulled by the slow, deliberate rhythm of the swell.

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.
