The Ebb and Flow

14″(36cm) x 12″(31cm)  – measurements include the frame –

In a fun departure for Mary Rose, she has produced a small capsule collection of four mixed media original pieces! Delicately handled, with watercolours, and the addition of various textures, these four pieces work beautifully on their own or would look great together – a very cohesive collection.

This collection reflects the emotional cycles we move through—solitude, change, hope, and introspection.  Inspired by the sea’s rhythm and the renewal of spring, Mary Rose explores the quiet shifts within us that mirror the natural world. Using ink, watercolours,  acrylics, found objects, papers, and textiles, the pieces create layered, tactile reflections of our inner landscapes.

This piece, the title piece in fact, captures emotional movement, the quiet rhythm of holding on and letting go.
It evokes life’s ongoing push and pull, and the beauty of change in motion.

Mary Rose is fascinated by how a piece can impact the physical space it hangs in – and she uses everything in her artistic being to ensure that each pieces stirs something within the viewer; be it a feeling, a sentiment or an emotion.
