This artwork is one of three inter-related pieces - available separately or as a trio.
During recent travels, while I was waiting during a routine stop and keen to reach the next destination, I saw something extraordinary that I would otherwise have missed.
My eyes wandered beyond the edge of a rest stop in a rambling coastal area, where creamy dunes were topped with low shrubs. The pink pom-pom flowers of Melaleuca Ryeae, endemic to WA’s south-west, fade as they age creating a dreamy palette of pinks dotted across the undulating sands.
As I squatted down to take a closer look, the landscape flattened, the vast sands became thin shimmering ribbons, and the pink clusters condensed under an altered perspective to form an extraordinary, mottled blanket.
I was reminded that while we are waiting for the next ‘something’ we might miss what is going on in front of us. In ordinary moments, extraordinary things are waiting to be revealed.

While I Was Waiting $2150
In partnership with Worthy Australia, three specially-created works by Sherylle Dovaston will be on display at their Perth Headquarters from 22 January - 22 February, to support their work helping women and children who have experienced homelessness due to domestic violence.
Through their Safe Havens program, Worthy creates beautifully furnished homes to support and nurture these families as they transition from domestic violence refuge accommodation. 20% of the sales made during their artist residency program will go directly to Worthy to help fund these important initiatives.
This trio of paintings references the extraordinary opportunities that can dwell in the most ordinary of moments - if we open our eyes and pause to look.
All paintings are acrylic and earth wash on canvas, and each is beautifully framed in a natural oak floating frame.
Support local art, support local women and children.
