‘We Make Our Own Adventures’
This special statement piece is part of a series of paintings inspired by a family trip to New Zealand last year.
While driving along the coast, we stopped at an incredible viewpoint overlooking the breathtaking landscape. Looking out across the water, I noticed a beautiful winding trail left behind by a boat we couldn't see.
It was such a simple thing, but its beauty stayed with me. I began thinking about how that trail could symbolise our own journeys, and how the adventures we share with the people we love leave us with precious memories long after the moments themselves have passed.
This inspired a new direction for my Glimmers paintings, with golden light moving across the water, following the beautiful traces left behind by boats.
For me, this piece is a celebration of the people we love, the places we've been, and the adventures we've had.
Original Mixed Media Artwork
Created using layers of acrylic paint and imitation gold metal leaf, this piece is finished with a luxurious resin topcoat, providing a smooth, glass-like shine.
The gold leaf is carefully applied by hand in sheets before the painting is created over it. As a result, subtle join lines may be visible beneath the paint in some areas. These are a natural characteristic of the gilding process and their visibility can vary depending on the lighting and viewing angle.
Displaying Your Artwork
The painting will change beautifully throughout the day as the light moves across its surface. The reflective gold leaf and glossy resin mean that the painting can look quite different depending on the light, with highlights and glimmers catching the light differently from moment to moment.
For this reason, I recommend displaying the artwork in a well-lit area where you can enjoy the changing light and reflective qualities of the piece. A wall opposite a window can work particularly well, allowing the natural light to bring the painting to life throughout the day. As with all original artwork, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight should be avoided to help protect the painting from UV damage.

Framing
This painting has been custom framed in a beautiful gold float frame, designed to sit flush against the glossy resin surface. A subtle gap between the painting and the frame creates a delicate floating effect, allowing the artwork to remain the focus while adding a luxurious finishing touch.
