Ocean paintings that feel like memory
Photorealistic oil paintings of the Sunshine Coast, painted from a life spent looking closely at the water. Original pieces and prints by glendafaye, so lifelike they capture the exact moment the water pulled you in.
I paint water the way it feels, not just the way it looks, close enough to touch, raw enough to hear. It started with house paint and terracotta pots when my kids were small, and it's ended up here: oils, oceans, and a life spent looking closely at the water at Mooloolaba.

Something made for your space…
Whether you're after custom sizing on an existing piece for a boardroom or office, or something painted specifically for your space - a particular view, a particular feeling - I take on a limited number of commissions and custom pieces each year. I'll work from your brief and my own photos of the coast to get the hues, the light and the mood right, then paint it by hand on wood or canvas.
Get in touch to talk commercial supply, sizing, or a fully custom piece.
If you have a question about a piece, after something custom, or just want to say hello? I'd love to hear from you - send me a message and I'll be in touch soon.
Based at Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast, QLD, Australia.
