Coastal Vision

Donna Lipinski
Artist

"New Beginnings" is how I see my work. A fresh use of colour and texture creating a classic look.

My inspiration for my art work comes from what I see around me, from waking in the morning to the sound and view of the ocean waves crashing onto the beach with a beautiful sunrise awaking a New Day.

The power of the ocean on a stormy day gives me the spirit to capture its force and energy on canvas -- it's controllable force.

I like my art to be open to what people see in it. As we see things in all different ways, a piece of work could look like the deep sea and clouds to one person where for another it could be waves crashing on the beach, but with both looking at the same piece of work.

I like the use of texture to create depth and movement to my pieces - with then the application of shells, Paua and other natural items to help me create a classic piece of work.
