Surfs Up by Treena Seymour

Features

ARTIST NOTES: Influence: Having a fascination with our gorgeous beaches and oceans, I am totally in awe of the giant waves which crash into our shores. The energy each wave has as it tumbles and turns creating more speed as it scoops up more salty water. The thunderous sound as the giant “moving mountain” makes its way to the shoreline dissipating into a frothy foamy carpet creeping up onto the hot golden sands.



No wonder surfers are lured into the waters to ride these magnificent spectacles of the ocean. Each is so different yet the same scenario takes place…..if you miss one wave, theres always another, then another and another.



But just as fascinating and breathtaking these giant waves are, they can also be deadly and have consumed much in their path. Their beauty is matched with their ferociousness as Mothers Natures intended. A true beauty of the ocean and one which demands respect.

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".
