Australian Artist 

Born in the remote North-West of Australia, Dean is an artist devoted to capturing the beauty of the ocean and all her intricacies in the most raw, honest and authentic manner.

 

Creating realistic aerial seascapes on sustainably sourced wood. What set's this work apart is the extra effort and self taught skills to evoke the emotional connection we have to country.​

 

Committed to authenticity and the natural world, Dean incorporates natural elements such as sand, rocks and salt water sourced directly from the beaches depicted. This extra energy poured into incorporating naturally sourced elements breathes a small, but significant amount of life into each art piece. 

​

Dean allows the coastline to flow with the natural grain of the wood whilst still accurately outlining the shape of the coastline. This approach requires a trained eye to see grain in rough sawn timber, a diverse collection of slabs, and an intimate knowledge of the coast built up over years on the water.

Honest Art that respects and honours Country.
