About the artist
Where it began
Siesta Sundays grew from a desire to slow down and create space for stillness and reflection. Life moves fast, and I wanted to offer something that invites people to pause, something calming, thoughtful, and beautiful. What began as a personal creative outlet has become a space for others to find that same sense of quiet, a visual exhale.
A process rooted in feeling
My creative process is intuitive and emotion-led. I follow the pull of inspiration, sometimes it’s a feeling I want to hold onto, sometimes a fleeting memory from travel or the quiet rhythm of nature.
As a digital artist, working with light, texture, and tone allows me to explore freely until an image feels balanced and whole. I’m self-taught, having begun this practice more than a decade ago, and it continues to be a space where curiosity leads the way. Each piece evolves organically, guided by instinct, always with the intention to evoke calm and connection.
The influence of place
I'm based on the Gold Coast, Australia, where the pace of life feels beautifully untamed. Coastal living has shaped my values of simplicity, ease, and a deep reverence for natural beauty. I think of us as organic beings meant to move with nature, not against it, and I try to carry that mindset into how I work and what I share.
Creating with intention
Each artwork is printed with archival pigment inks on museum-grade fine art paper using the giclée printing process, bringing every detail to life with care and precision. I work with local Australian printers not only for their craftsmanship and attention to detail, but also to help reduce environmental impact.
Everything is made to order, meaning less waste and a more thoughtful process from start to finish. I’ve chosen sustainable packaging wherever possible so that what protects your artwork reflects the same care behind it. The details matter. The process matters. And the intention behind it all—creating art that brings calm and joy while treading gently on the planet—is what matters most to me.
Whether you're here to find something special or simply to pause for a moment, I’m so glad you’ve landed here.
With warmth,
Alana
