Tippett, Sandy

I have always loved the ocean with my earliest childhood beach memories being at Diani Beach, Mombasa in Kenya East Africa (I was born in Moshi, Tanzania at the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro). Coming to Australia as a child, it was wonderful to find the same joy with the ocean and beaches here.

Art has been a part of me as long as I can remember. I love nature and the colours, shapes and textures she gives us. Skies and ocean strike a chord with me, I suppose that is why I tend to paint them more. 

My early working background was graphic design (before computers), it was the only job that fulfilled my love of art. In later years I followed the path of visual art, once again fulfilling that passion for art.

Travelling over the years I have discovered some particularly beautiful bays with the North West being my most favourite place to visit, especially Purnululu (Bungle Bungles).

These paintings are a collection of ocean, skies, places, moments that I have seen, experienced and love within our North West.
