Alana Clarke is continually fascinated with the coast; a dramatic place where the patterns of weather and light are ever-changing and emphasise the unpredictability and transience of nature. 'Here I feel the vastness of the world and do most of my quiet contemplation, my reminiscing and pondering.'

Her paintings communicate an intense emotional response to the experience of being in the landscape and encompass both the complexity and simplicity of nature, both the dark and the looming and the light and lingering.
