Suzanne Barrett, Brisbane QLD

I am a contemporary coastal artist based in Brisbane, QLD. My work explores how human experience is shaped by the natural environment and the quiet narratives found in between. Originally trained as an interdisciplinary artist, with a Bachelor of Fine Art, I creates seascapes that move beyond representation. Each work becomes a narrative: an exploration of memory, place, and the subtle conversations between water, sky, and shoreline. For me, painting is a way of tracing the emotional tides of the bayside landscape—capturing not only what is seen, but what is felt.
