Michelle’s desire was to create something meaningful and from the heart, a compilation of paintings and words that evoke a joyful feeling and a connection with ourselves and our planet.

Julia has a soulful love for our oceans stemming from a child scurrying around rockpools searching for starfish, endless hours swimming, being involved in surf lifesaving, swim teaching and many hours of boogie boarding. It’s a love that is engrained in her health and wellbeing.
