The Tessellated Pavement

This commissioned work captures a couple's deep connection to one of Tasmania's most remarkable natural wonders—the Tessellated Pavement at Eaglehawk Neck. Though they have visited before, they find themselves drawn back time and again, captivated by the geological mystery of these ancient formations that have taken millennia to create.

The painting speaks to the magnetic pull of certain places, those landscapes that call us back to witness their quiet majesty. Here, the couple stands in contemplation of nature's patient artistry, where the dramatic geometric patterns of the rock platform contrast beautifully with the soft, luminous presence of white gums and the warm, stratified colors of the cliff face rising behind them.

This work celebrates not just a destination, but the kind of love—both for each other and for place—that deepens with each return visit. It honors those locations that become touchstones in our lives, places we carry with us and return to, finding new wonder in their timeless beauty.

Created as a gift for the couple, this painting now preserves their connection to this spectacular corner of Tasmania, a lasting reminder of the landscape that continues to draw them back.
