Petra Meikle – Australian Ocean Artist

Petra Meikle is an Australian mixed media artist known for her unique blend of fine art, abstract, and impressionistic styles. Working from her coastal studio in Cairns, Far North Queensland, Petra draws daily inspiration from the nearby Great Barrier Reef, creating ocean-inspired artwork that captures the movement, texture, and emotion of the sea.

Her art explores the power of fluid dynamics and pigment interaction, where mixed media techniques bring unexpected beauty. Petra combines acrylics, inks, pastes, and resin to create original coastal paintings and contemporary seascapes that reflect her years of experimentation, innovation, and artistic risk-taking.

Petra's work is known for its bold use of layered mediums, organic flow, and unique textural elements — a true collaboration between artist and material. Each artwork is a visual representation of chemistry, contrast, and coastal energy.
