Women Swimmin' Mini No.2

Women Swimmin' Mini No.2

Women Swimmin’ Collection

Exploring the quiet, fleeting moments.

Built through layers of texture, muted colour and small figures, the painting and collection as a whole is less about depicting swimming literally, and more about capturing a feeling. Movement, freedom, solitude.

The figures appear and disappear within the surface of the painting - just a fleeting moment of their day.

For me, water becomes a space where everything feels lighter, where things are removed from every day life. It can be peaceful and restorative. Women Swimmin' is an exploration of those quiet moments of escape - of women simply existing, moving, floating, and taking up space. 

Also available as a print.
