Exhibition at Gallery One88 Blue mountains 2020
Welcome to my exhibition created with a delicious mixture of pieces from my series Rock pools and Ocean Tides" and my other series "Summer Party”. A collection of paintings inspired by the Ocean and Australian Coastline and celebrating all things summer.
I created series of natural abstracts drawing inspiration from my favortite place the seashore and ocean. I wanted my paintings to embody the deep sense of peace, tranquility and restoration I feel when I spend time on our beautiful beaches here in Australia. My aim was foreach piece to harness its own energy and uniqueness resembling the uniqueness of every wave and seashell in the ocean.

EXHIBITION STATEMENT
This originally crafted collection is inspired by the Australian landscape from the vast expanses of coastline and rock pools to the often raw and powerful bush land and rainforests.
The artists capture the beauty and mystery of our land and ocean and the reflections and awe inspiring textures of both.
Stephanie’s inspirations are drawn from the fresh, crisp waterways of Australia, and the way the oceans and seashores have their way of both invigorating and soothing the human spirit. Using acrylic paint, resin, pigments, inks and gold leaf, Stephanie’s collection encapsulates the spirit and beauty of Australian coasts and waterways.
Peralta’s work echoes the power and mystery within the bushland, rainforest and vast skies in the Australian landscape. Inspired endlessly by the humbling nature of the powerful Blue Mountains national park, Abi offers to her audience the experience of being curious to look deeper into organic shapes and forms whilst also inducing reflection in a similar way that communion with the natural world offers.
Abi and Stephanie stir up your favourite memories of the beach, filling your senses with the soothing sounds of waves, the warmth of the sun and the salty air by the sea.
Additionally, through their work they encourage the audience to look deeper into the organic beauty of unique textures and colour palettes by emulating the natural world.
This collection is both a celebration of the beauty of our natural and diverse world, and also an invitation to commune deeper with the landscape, the land and the sea.
ABOUT STEPHANIE LISA'S BODY OF WORK
Stephanie's acrylic and mixed media flow paintings are inspired by the Australian coastline, white sandy beaches and clear pristine waters. The works shimmer and reflect, the clear resin allowing the view to peer inside to the cool, inner depths of the canvas or board matrix. A deceptively challenging process to achieve quality results. Stephanie has done just that.
