Facing darkness is something we all will relate to at some point. Whether it's a darkness caused by physical pain, mental health issues, spiritual wellbeing, life's stresses and challenges - darkness can overwhelm. But I choose to look for the light. Darkness doesn't exist when light is present. It simply can't. And there's nowhere I'm better reminded of this than the coast.
 
At night, or when a storm is present, that sliver of light that breaks through the darkness over ocean and coastline, forces darkness to fade. Here, facing darkness on the shoreline, I find light - and it's beautiful.
 
This dramatic little beachscape with a lone figure on the shoreline, is an emotive piece to invite reflection and encouragement. A quiet moment to pause and find light when darkness threatens.
 
NB: While every effort is made to capture the true colours and details of my artwork, every screen is different and art viewed online does not do my work justice. Slight differences may be evident between a screen image and the true tone and textures of my work, which is more vivid and beautiful in reality. Scale may also be slightly off due to the insitu art app used, so please ensure you measure your space.
