Quiet Refuge depicts a serene cluster of rocks along the creek at Gracetown, in the beautiful Margaret River region of Western Australia. Tucked among the coastal bushland, these ancient stones are said by locals to be touched with magic; a place where fairies might dwell, adding a sense of wonder and enchantment to this peaceful sanctuary.

Gracetown is known for its rugged natural beauty; where bushland meets the wild southern ocean, and where creeks and hidden inlets carve gentle paths through the landscape. The rock formations here, shaped over millions of years by wind, water, and time, stand quietly among the trees, offering shelter and a sense of timelessness. These stones, softened by moss and lichen, form part of a landscape that invites reflection and connection with nature.

This painting celebrates the quiet magic of Gracetown; a place where the bushland’s gentle strength, the sculptural forms of rock, and the stories of the land come together. Quiet Refuge captures the stillness and beauty of this special location, inviting the viewer to pause, imagine, and appreciate the hidden wonders of our natural world.
