Horizons Unfolding

Annalisa Christiansen

Since moving to Inverloch seven years ago with my

family I have delighted in exploring this region and its

stunning scenery and spectacular coastline. I have

enjoyed creatively exploring those aspects that

particularly speak to me.

I have always sketched and am constantly taking

photographs and studying my surrounding environment.

I am often playing around with my photographic images

on the computer but have found more time of late to

spread out in the real world and splash some paint

around!

I am endlessly fascinated by the play of light on the

water and the coastline, the splendour of the sky above

me and how quickly that can change. Living here on the

southern edge of the continent, the weather can be quite

dramatic and changeable and a huge influence on daily

life. My work is based in the natural world and on my

interactions and responses to it.

I have been working both in acrylic and watercolour and

am enjoying the inherent challenges, differences and

overlaps between the two mediums. I am on a personal

journey of exploration, continuing to develop my skills

and ideas and seeing where my art will take me..
