My name is Luba Ryder and I have been painting ever since I can remember.
I gain inspiration from nature, the ocean and the bush as we are all part of this creation.
The light playing on the ocean and the sound of the waves creates a sense of awe and calm while at the same time the energy reminds me that the sea is a living breathing movement that entrances and takes us to a magical place.
I have worked with many mediums such as oils, acrylics, water colour, acrylics and pastels. Pastels being my favourite at the moment as they capture the soft quality needed for an ocean scene.
The Quininup series was inspired by the ocean at Margaret River where the long walks amongst wildflowers, bushes and ocean merge to entice the visitor to stop and take in the magic of all that surrounds them.
