Phoebe Clarke is a 26-year-old legally blind painter from Coolum Beach whose expressive realism celebrates the beauty of the world through vibrant colour. Her love for art began in childhood while undergoing treatment for leukemia, when painting became a source of comfort and creativity. Growing up on the coast and spending every day by the ocean inspired her deep connection to the sea and her passion for painting seascapes. A mum of two and an adventurer at heart, Phoebe has travelled around Australia a couple of times, drawing inspiration from its diverse landscapes and coastal towns. Through her work, she captures the feeling of freedom, gratitude, and adventure that comes from truly seeing the world through her eyes.

You will often find her painting in a dark room, very close to the canvas and surrounded by music. She likes to push the limits and see how far she can get in both life and art.
