I cannot keep still on a beach, each rock pool must be visited and inspected closely, every element must be explored, touched, recorded in photos and sketches. I am treasure hunting!
In these paintings metal leaf is used to represent the precious nature of the elements found in our native rock pools. I've made some wearable art too, 1 x 2 inch brooch pins.
