Afterglow by Catherine De Boise
We’re delighted to welcome our second CoolArt exhibition to Coolart — Afterglow by Catherine De Boise
This beautiful new body of work captures the quiet magic of the Mornington Peninsula landscape, where light lingers, water shimmers and the natural world slows you down.
Catherine’s paintings are inspired by time spent walking the coastline, observing the changing light across wetlands and sea. Her work invites you to pause, breathe, and experience those fleeting moments of calm and stillness.
View Catherine’s work at the Homestead on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays 11am – 3pm
🗓 Exhibition runs 2 May – 29 June 2026
