New Annual - Ocean Rituals : Penelope Green

Passionate open water swimmer and award-winning ocean and coast-life photographer, Penelope Green presents a series of joyous, moody, and captivating photographs celebrating Newcastle's coastline and the city's dynamic ocean swimming community. Hung along the fenceline at Dixon Park Beach, this free, public exhibition can be enjoyed whenever you have a moment to visit this incredible section of coastline, morning to night.

Penelope's images offer a glimpse into what it feels like to embrace the gloriously unpredictable ocean as a daily companion.

As a country kid who had limited access to the coast, Penelope never takes the sea for granted. Her daily swims are an opportunity to reflect on the ways the sea challenges, uplifts, and ultimately connects us.
