Acrylic, Canvas, Ready to hang

In the 1980s, our family would hire a Sonata 7 trailer sailer with another family, and we'd head off to the Myall Lakes in the school holidays. Those carefree days were some of the best memories of my life. Everyone would get together for a race across to Johnson Island, or to Bungwahl, where we'd jump off and walk up to the old post office to mail letters back to our friends, and buy an ice cream.
In this painting, I've layered acrylic and enamel paint with fragments of vintage wallpaper onto canvas, to create a highly textured artwork. The result is an effervescent piece that invites collectors to cherish a sense of wild joy and find their own narrative within the scene. Expressive brushwork captures the shifting movement of water and sky, while the embossed patterned sails playfully tack to and fro. Balancing bold painterly gestures with delicate nostalgic pattern, the work reflects my ongoing exploration of memory, place and making the most of time while we have it.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Naomi is a Figurative Abstract artist creating thick joyous botanicals, wild seascapes and emotive landscapes, painted in and around her Eurobodalla Coast studio.

Crowther’s beautiful work creates a charming and relaxed atmosphere to any room, filling the need for original, nature inspired artworks that provide a sophisticated image.
'I love translating the colours and forms of the natural world onto canvas. It gives me incredible joy to bring this sense of connection with nature into people's homes, and to hear back about how my paintings bring such a richness to my collectors daily lives.'
