SCROLL DOWN FOR IMAGES:
The Last Fleet series was exhibited in a solo exhibition in the Gold Coast Regional Gallery from 6 February - 27th March 2016l
This series is a theme of reviewing the fate of abandoned human manufactured objects in the natural environment.  These images represent loss, but there is a strange beauty about them as well.

Shipwrecks provide an understanding of the past and are connected to our cultural heritage.  They can teach us lessons on how the environment and human error can destroy or damage each other, and provide a record of past trade and communication.  
Historically, transportation of people and supplies was by ship, and today is still a viable option.
​The ocean can be unforgiving, and in ancient times as well as today, inevitably some voyages end in shipwreck.  
Currently I have featured four shipwrecks - with another two in my sights for future.    
First is the Cherry Venture Shipwreck which was driven ashore in 1973 during a violent storm and stranded high on the sands of the Noosa Northshore Sands, becoming an accidental tourist attraction.  
The second shipwreck is HMQS Gayundah which was originally a flat-iron gunboat operated by the Queensland Maritime Defence Force and later the Royal Australian Navy.   

The third shipwreck is SS Dicky, who was a coastal trader that operated in and around Australia from at least 1887 until its loss in 1893.  
Fourth is from the shipwreck Charles Eaton and was wrecked on 15th August 1834 
In 2005, Gayle was accepted as a member of the Australian Society of Marine Artists.
