\"The ocean is a constant force shared by all island nations which to me represents the freedom and enticement of the great unknown that lies beyond the horizon and the security of the land that it leaves behind.  The oceans link countries and people from all over the world and inspires me to capture the interaction between the land and the water and the way they influence all that they touch.\" - Elina Reddy

\"She creates remarkable landscapes, derived from experience and memories, which show us the magnicient, beautiful and powerful natural settings that Australian has to offer.  Through her work, we are taken into a journey exploring new and vibrant scenaries where we can find ourselves sailing, diving or just feeling the breeze.  From tranquil colourful seascapes to dramatic forests, each of her works demand deep engagement, we are pulled into becoming part of them.\" - The Brick Lane Gallery, London, UK
