Beneath The Calm

Limited Edition (100 prints only)
Her Story: She floats in murky waters painted with shades of purple and blue, her stillness surrounded by two kois gliding in hues of red, gold, and white. Lily pads in vibrant greens cluster above her, while pink blossoms — textured with paste and stitched with yellow centres — rest delicately on the surface. At first glance, the scene is tranquil, almost dreamlike. Yet beneath the surface, every breath is an act of endurance, as she works quietly to stay afloat while unseen currents tug at her. She is suspended between serenity and struggle.
Your Story: Perhaps you’ve felt this too — appearing composed on the surface while carrying so much beneath. Beneath the Calm captures that shared duality: the beauty of vibrant colours and still waters, contrasted with the unspoken struggle below. It speaks to the strength it takes to carry on, the ambiguity of what surrounds us — helpers or hazards — and the quiet resilience within. This piece invites you to see your own story in the shimmer of koi, the stitched lilies, the deep waters, and to recognise that even in life’s heaviest moments, there is grace, courage, and unexpected beauty.
My Story: 'Beneath The Calm' grew from a season where I felt I had to hold everything together — motherhood, business, social commitments and the quiet weight of all the mental load and the endless responsibilities. On the outside, I looked calm, resilient, even serene. But inside, I was paddling hard to keep my head above water.
The koi fish, circling in reds, gold, and white, are symbolic of all the well intended friends and family who want to help —but I was never sure if they represented guidance or distraction, help or hazard. The stitched centres of the lilies remind me of mending, of piecing things back together with love and persistence. This piece for me, honours the hidden strength most of us never knew we had, until we needed it.
Please note: Only 'Unframed' fine art prints are available for orders outside Australia.
