Summer Vacay - 150cm

LEAH Ramage
This collection exudes the vibrancy and energy of sun-soaked days. Each piece evokes a longing for summer, from beach scenes, people pool side and activities bathed in warm sunlight, it is a celebration of warm weather, sun kissed skin and the essence of balmy days. So much inspiration from my creative practice comes from moments by the water. When I am at the water's edge, my brain shuts down, I feel connected and I can get into this sort of meditative state where I am able to forget the world and everything that’s going on. ‘

i aim to reflect the warmth, light and meditative state I experience at moments surrounded by water. Inspired by the quiet beauty of sun-soaked moments by the ocean or poolside, where light and water create a harmonious dance of colour and reflection. I explore the balance between solitude and connection, painting vibrant, sunlit scenes to capture the serenity of being immersed in the outdoors. Using layered brush strokes, an eye for detail and a luminous colour palette, I aim to capture the stillness found in those sun-soaked moments of solitude that invite calm and reflection. It is an escape of both the physical and the psychological. Leah’s works push the boundaries of watercolour, magically capturing the transparency of water and fleeting moments. Australian culture is explored through coastal landscapes, ocean rock pools and moments of people captured doing everyday life. Through vibrant, ocean inspired works, Leah aims to inspire a deeper connection to the natural world while educating viewers about the importance of protecting it.
