about the artist

Growing up in the northern end of the Byron Shire, 28yo Sharni Montgomery spent her years being raised along our shorelines in this quiet little corner of East Coast Australia.

Always infatuated with water and the way the ocean moves it wasn't until she had moved away from her hometown that she decided to pick up a paintbrush and try to harness what her heart was missing through her passion that she hadn't shared with the world yet.

Never in her wildest dreams did she think she would be where she is today.

Sharni's artistic expression takes form in the mesmerizing world of ocean beachscape art, a genre that captivates the essence of coastal beauty and the profound connections we hold with these enchanting places.

Drawing inspiration from the coastal landscapes that surround her, Sharni's artwork is a celebration of local coastlines, showcasing their unique charm and the deep emotional connections they evoke. Pockets of glistening refracted water to layers of dune grown trees each section tells a story of tranquility and serenity, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the soothing ambiance of her creations.

Through her work she has the ability to transport us back to cherished memories and nostalgic attachments we hold for these coastal paradises.

Her art serves as a visual diary, capturing the essence of places we've visited and loved, inviting us to revisit those moments of joy, serenity, and introspection.
