Artwork that makes the world fall silent.

 

Fine art nature photography rooted in Shibui, the Japanese aesthetic of quiet beauty.

.

My artwork weaves Shibui's quiet beauty and nature's graceful presence into the fabric of much-loved interiors. Each piece is an invitation to immerse yourself, and find stillness.


Inspired by the ancient silence of deep woods, the relentless flow of wild rivers, and the elemental breath of untamed landscapes, the nature abstracts are created to evoke a sense of wonder and a precious moment of peace.

This artwork finds its home with those who understand that stillness is the ultimate luxury - private collectors, changemakers, architects and interior designers, and restorative spaces that focus on healing, renewal, and transformation.

ABOUT

Then she found a small clearing surrounded by firs.
And she stopped, and she heard what the trees said to her.
And she sat there for hours, not wanting to leave.
For the forest said nothing, it just let her breathe.

My soul captured by Poet Becky Hemsley

CREATIVE APPROACH

For over a decade my creative approach has been fueled by a deep passion for the Japanese concept of Shibui (Shibumi/Shibusa), which embodies seven distinct elements: Simplicity, implicity, modesty, naturalness, everydayness, imperfection, and silence. I bow before its refined aesthetic of simple, subtle, and unobtrusive beauty.

With Shibui in my heart, I have developed a distinctive and contemporary language of nature photography. The collections are known for their strong artistic statement and masterful execution.

For Sommardale Art, I create and curate pieces that are felt, powerfully evoking presence and connection. My art isn’t for everyone. But for those who feel it, something softens - and in that softening, stillness awakens. And stillness, I’ve found, is the beginning of everything.
