Midnight Swim by Treena Seymour

Features

ARTIST NOTES: Influence: Whenever Summer bestows upon me I am witness to the many holiday goers packing in to my little bay swimming and playing. What would it be like if you had the entire beach to yourself? To be able to swim as far as you want to go and to not be troubled by other swimmers? Then it dawned on me….why not swim at night! Sure, you don’t have the light as in the day but if you were able to swim under moonlight, what would it be like? You would see the beach and the sea in a totally different “light”. It would sure feel calmer and would definitely seem quieter. The reflection on the water could be intoxicating. Hearing the water against your body as you wade out into the cool catching a glimpse of yourself in the moonlight reflection.
These gorgeous mini canvases are my interpretation of such a wonderful experience. The blackness of the backgrounds representing the night with aqua and blue how we see the ocean by day and silver depicting the moonlight reflection on the waters surface and just below.

ARTIST BIO

"An everchanging palette of colour infussed with energy and movement through paint and texture"

"Discovering a passion for art at a young age was the beginning of a long creative journey. After Secondary College, I completed a two year Fine Art and Design Course at TAFE. Struggling with funds saw me look for full time employment. With the skills I had learnt and my willingness to learn, I secured full time work in an Art Department at a large Offset Printing Firm. I continued my full time work in this field for many years. In my spare time I dabbled in my true love of drawing and painting; commission pieces and my own fave subjects which I was lucky to sell.

Last year was a big move from full time Graphic Designer to full time Artist. Having my own Home Studio allows me to concentrate on my true passion now.

Searching original techiques with different angles is nothing new for me. Finding ways to put my work "out there" is a constant challenge and one I love.

Not being content with the traditional approach alone, I find myself searching ways to tweak it a little, to "think outside the square" adding extra visual enticement. Exploring new concepts, ideas, having a keen imagination for creating new scenarios using other mediums, materials and texture is also fun and lets face it, this is why I paint.......I love the creative journey.

Like a lot of things around us which evolve, so does the world of art. I am not trying to create a new "movement" in teh cycle, merely move with my own artistic ideas and creative ability to keep in line with todays tgrends.

My paintings are a reflection on how I see our beautiful world and all it envelopes. My passion for life and its beauty is portrayed in every piece of my work. Art gives me the license to freely express myself, a way to share my individuality and how I see the world, one which I hope you will enjoy as you browse through my works".
