Woman of Forrest and Sea II

Woman of Forrest and Sea-Elysia
This was a project inspired and created to enter into the Apollo Bay Arts Show. Being a place where the forrest meets the sea it felt appropriate to thread that through in the direction we took.
Over the years Wild Beauty has journeyed with the feminine landscapes, capturing cycles, seasons, and playing with the Goddess and archetypes. This year I started the year with a real feeling of being a Woman, and how that felt different to feminine. A woman is a pillar of strength, she holds her own and communicates from the heart. She isn’t afraid to be herself, and her boundaries are a gift to the world. She walks through fire and smiles as the smoke cleanses her lungs. She’s an alchemist, embracing every experience as a catalyst for growth.
This photo of Elysia was taken in Aireys Inlet, a magical playground for her fae heart to cultivate a sense of freedom to “be”. Forever an honor to witness these moments of essence expressed.

Artist Bio
Wild Beauty Otways was birthed in 2020 as a result of the covid pandemic we all journeyed through. Living in the forrest surrounded by natural beauty I found myself observing the light shift and change with the elements and seasons that were prevalent. I began playing with self portraits as a way to express my frustrations and pent up feelings being isolated in the bush. These portraits were always taken out playing with that light I had grown a relationship with, and the elements that came to play always helped to direct the way the shoot went. It’s a co-creation with nature and feels like real magic. I then moved into taking other’s photos, going on journeys into the woods felt like stepping into their inner psyche and having it mirrored in our outer world. Because of this, I found these journeys offered an element of therapy with them and those that accepted the invite felt it too. I am not a trained photographer, my work is all intuitive and each photo is taken from the heart.
