In summertime Australian coastal-dwellers love to flock to the beaches to enjoy the sensations of sand, salt and sun.

The series of drypoint etchings present a nostalgic canvas of my memories of summertime as a kid at the beach; a world of sandcastles, swims, surf, and sunbaking. The children featured are fully absorbed into the moment – the way we should be all our lives.

The images are framed in monochromatic haze blue-greys to focus the viewers’ attention on selected features within, highlighted in vivid splashes of colour.


About the Artist

Patricia has only recently taken up art as a fulltime occupation. She trained in printmaking techniques at the University of Tasmania’s College of the Arts, between 2009 and 2013. Since then she has been an active member of two Hobart printmaking groups and has exhibited in Canada and in several Hobart galleries. Her subject matter is often personal and introspective – ranging from native and domestic animals, to landscapes, to abstract and representational portraiture.
