I am Australian artist living in Amsterdam. I gained a degree in fine art (BA vis) at City Art Institute (now COFA) in Sydney in 1987. 

I work in acrylics and watercolour on paper and canvas making seascapes and abstract seascapes in celebration of the sea and coastal landscapes. I mostly refer to sketchbook drawings and photographs taken on my travels, sometimes working en plein air.  My intention is to recreate feelings and memories of the peace that for me, comes from being by and looking into the sea, searching time and again for that undefinable quality it holds for me. 

My work is held in private collections worldwide and can be purchased via Saatchiart and my Instagram page or please send an email to kvwest@protonmail.com.
