Selected for the 2026 Camberwell Art Show
Where Stillness Expands was selected for exhibition in the 2026 Camberwell Art Show, one of Australia’s most prestigious selected-entry art exhibitions. The work is now available for purchase.
Inspired by the luminous transition of the evening sky, Where Stillness Expands explores that fleeting moment when colour deepens, light softens, and the world begins to slow. It is an invitation to pause—to notice the beauty that emerges as day quietly gives way to night.
Layers of ultramarine, indigo and petrol blue create a rich, atmospheric landscape, while subtle passages of copper evoke the warmth of fading light lingering on distant clouds. The horizontal composition gently guides the eye across the painting before returning to a quiet central stillness, creating a sense of both openness and calm.
Created with contemporary interiors in mind, the work is designed to bring a feeling of serenity without overwhelming a space. Its balance of movement and stillness allows it to become a quiet focal point—equally at home in living spaces, bedrooms, entryways or places set aside for reflection and restoration.
Its panoramic format makes it particularly well suited to hanging above a bed, sofa, sideboard or hallway console, where its calming palette and expansive composition can create a gentle sense of openness and tranquillity. Whether viewed from across a room or in a quiet moment of pause, the painting is intended to offer a subtle yet enduring presence within the space.
Rather than depicting a specific landscape, Where Stillness Expands captures an emotional one. It reflects those rare moments when the day’s noise begins to dissolve, inviting us to breathe more deeply, reconnect with ourselves, and find comfort in the expansive beauty of stillness.
