About The Artwork

An Australian seascape of beautiful Marino Rocks Beach. It was a very hot day, but lovely and cool inside.  But perfect weather to gaze out of the window, and produce an Australian seascape painting of Marino Rocks Beach. A rocky beach and the big blue sea - a beautiful Australian seascape. Marino Rocks Beach is the southern Adelaide suburb of Marino.It sits on coastal hills. The view here is spectacular. It features a steep cliff face, and a low and flat rocky beach. Marino Rocks is a quiet secluded beach. Therefore, there's usually barely anyone (besides the residents) on the beach. Most of the people who come here either go for a stroll, go for a picnic or go fishing or snorkling. Walking and Cycling trails To further appreciate the seascape, a number of walking trails are available through this Australian seascape at Marino including the Coastal Walk and the Coast to Vines rail trail. Firstly, The 7.2 km coastal boardwalk starts at the Marino Esplanade and finishes at the Hallett Cove Headland Reserve. A part of the Adelaide Coast Park, the walk is unique in the metropolitan area with its rugged cliffs, small coves and rocky coast. The 34 km Coast to Vines rail trail is a mostly sealed walking and cycling trail.  The trail starts at Marino and travels south through Adelaide's southern suburbs along the old railway line. It travels through the McLaren Vale wine region, finishing in the country town of Willunga. Also, a bike path along secondary roads is also available for cyclists to ride north from Marino to Glenelg, and even further to Semaphore and Outer Harbour. History Significant geological formations are a feature of the cliffs at Hallett Cove, evidence of glacial movements 600 million years ago. The coastline features prominently in the Tjilbruke legend of the Kaurna people. Coastal and marine interpretive signage has been installed along the coastal walking trail.  These signs consist of 33 large art signs in the shape of dolphins, fish, crabs and traditional Kaurna shields. Community artist, Barbary O'Brien worked with local schools, resident groups and members of the Kaurna Aboriginal community to develop the signs. Marino is home to the Marino Rocks Lighthouse and the Marino Conservation Park

AUSTRALIAN ARTIST I am an Australian artist working in Adelaide, South Australia. I paint mostly in oil, but occasionally use acrylic paints. Landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, flower paintings and abstract paintings are included in my repertoire of work. INSPIRATION FOR MY ART As an Australian artist, my inspiration comes from whatever is around me at a particular time. As an example, following a recent trip to the mid north of South Australia, I produced a series of landscape paintings, which include the beautiful Eucalyptus trees and flowers from local gardens. HISTORY My original study was textile design and Adelaide's School of Art and Craft. I then worked for 20 years in various forms of art and fashion. But, in 1997 I followed my other passion, natural health. Since arriving back in Adelaide from Sydney in 1999 I have worked full time as a Naturopath. However, in recent years I have devoted much more time to my painting. Moving full circle, as a practicing Australian artist. This includes participating in exhibitions. Also fulfilling my love of learning by continuing to study and improve my art practice, wherever and whenever I can. Over this period I have attended many and varied art courses and workshops in this time including Peter Bok at Bapea Art School, Liana Vargas Cat Leonard, and Krystina at Splashout Studio, Chelsea Lehman, Trena Everuss and Nona Burden at Adelaide Central School, John Lacey, Ruby Chew, Sophie Hann, Gerhard Ritter, and Deborah Trusson. WHERE ELSE TO FIND ME I regularly post to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
