Mark Gibson has had a long mental health journey marked by living with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression and, following a motorcycle accident, complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
He finds going for walks along the beach to be a grounding and gratifying experience; feeling the sand on the soles of his feet, closing his eyes, and listening to the sound of the ocean and his works have a resounding sense of hope and light amongst the dark.
Mark moved from Bundaberg to the Gold Coast a few years ago and through connecting with support groups and eventually an all-abilities art studio, he has been painting prolifically and entering many exhibitions - including Recovered Futures for the third time in 2024.
This painting depicts a serene beach pathway, leading to a tranquil ocean under a bright blue sky. The foreground features a sandy trail bordered by grassy dunes and a wooden fence. Prominent warning signs on the left indicate various beach regulations.
The path draws the viewer's eye towards the calm, inviting water, with waves gently lapping the shore. The scene exudes peace and natural beauty, encouraging reflection and a connection to the serene coastal environment.
