Artist:
Merel Tieland
Half a year ago I moved from The Netherlands to the stunning Mornington Peninsula*. For me as an artist this a beautiful area to settle in and I’m overwhelmed by the abundance of nature filling my basket, full of inspiration. Part of moving abroad is the coming and going of emotions e.g. happiness, gratefulness, homesickness. This painting is inspired by the transition and the healing power of ocean living. *I acknowledge the Bunurong / Boon Wurrung people, the traditional custodians of these lands and waters of which I work and gather, and pay out respect to elders past, present and emerging. I feel privileged and grateful that I may live here for a while.
Acknowledgment of traditional owners.
