Australian artist Natalie Mecham's work is driven by a deep love for the sea. Her practice explores the raw power and serene beauty of the natural world, translating complex dualities onto the canvas.

Using the rich pigment of oil paint, Natalie explores the ocean’s full character: from the expansive, peaceful tonality of the distant horizon to the intimate, kinetic energy of a breaking wave.

Filled with inspiration from travels around Australia and the world, she begins by digitally refining her photographic references before bringing the canvas to life. This preparation sets the stage for the expressive, final application of brushwork that ensures every painting is a unique creation.
