Alps to Ocean by Elizabeth Marshall traces the awe-inspiring path from New Zealand’s Southern Alps to the famous Moeraki Boulders. Created with metallic foils and alcohol inks, this piece is part of the My Country series. Shimmering bronze peaks rise against a soft sky, flowing into deep turquoise rivers and finally the sea, where the rounded boulders rest in timeless stillness. Light dances across the textured surface, echoing the movement of water and the play of sun on rock. This work celebrates the grandeur, vitality, and enduring beauty of Aotearoa’s landscapes, from mountain heights to ocean’s edge.

Artist Notes - General
Elizabeth is a Dunedin based artist, self-taught and passionate about adding joy to everyday, expressed through art. Layers of paint and medium are built up over the canvas to create volume and form. This approach gives rise to a sense of movement and life in the work that includes raised surfaces, dips, slopes, bumps, cracks and lumps. Please zoom in on the images provided to appreciate these aspects of the work.
While the artist attributes meaning to all her artworks, she is keen for the viewer to find their own happiness and meaning in the pattern, colour and texture.
Appreciating Elizabeth's art is about valuing the beauty in imperfection, perfectly imperfect, organic and irregular. Her art moves away from traditional art to a tactile experience. Inherent to the design are marks, bumps, lumps, cracks, scrapes, cracs and scourges. It is a thing of beauty, like nature herself.
