Collection: Coastal Noir

Coastal Noir is a visual meditation on the edge of land and sea, where black-and-white imagery transforms coastline into abstraction. In these fleeting moments, nature becomes form, light becomes texture, and the familiar dissolves into mystery.

Born from the exhibition Noir et Blanc on the Coffs Coast in 2017, the series evolved through love, loss, and resilience. What began as an experiment in monochrome expression became a signature collection, a dialogue between light, shadow, and emotion.

After the first exhibition collapsed due to framing failure, the work was reborn and honoured at the SHIMMER Photographic Biennale in McLaren Vale, South Australia (2018). Reprinted on museum-grade cotton rag paper and presented at Kay Brothers Winery, it became an immersive experience of mood, movement, and reflection.

Today, Coastal Noir stands as a cornerstone of ART1, an abstract coastal series that celebrates nature’s quiet drama and the artist’s evolution through transformation.
