New work is happening! These three paintings are the first stage of ‘Magic Beach’. The title is borrowed from Alison Lester’s children’s book of the same name. My son LOVES the beach, which he calls ‘Magic beach’ just as we read in the book (on repeat). This book pulled me back to my own childhood and captures Garry’s approach to the seaside- whimsical and full of life.

These new paintings aim to embody in their abstraction, our repeated beach journeys. replete with paths, wave rhythms, shifting sands, Rockpool life, changing skies and the steadfast horizon.
Garry’s energy and curiosity have shifted my beach experiences. I hope these paintings help me never forget how beautiful this time in my life has been. May Garry forever hold a ‘Magic Beach’ inside.
