To the Edge of the World, Cape Bruny
Alcohol markers and gouache on paper, 25.2 x 20.1 cm (approx. 10 x 8 in), 2025
The meeting of land, light, and distance – where the rugged southern coast of Tasmania reaches out to the endless sea. Viewed from Cape Bruny Lighthouse Cottage, the landscape feels both vast and intimate, touched by the shifting light that dances across ocean and sky.
This piece captures the feeling of standing at the far edge of the world – where time slows, the wind carries the scent of salt and wild grass, and the horizon seems to hold every possibility. A quiet moment of awe at nature’s untamed beauty.
The original piece has found its new home through the 2025 Kingborough Art Prize. Only open edition prints remain for collectors.

Michelle Ye is a Tasmanian artist inspired by quiet places - coastlines, hills, open skies, and trees - and the stillness they hold. Working with oil, gouache, markers, and other evolving media, she paints with a sensitivity to light, form, and space, capturing the gentle presence of the natural world.
Living in Tasmania since 2009, Michelle is drawn to the island’s rugged edges and calm inland spaces - places where light shifts slowly and silence feels full. Her work often leans toward a minimal palette and organic forms, shaped by a thoughtful, unhurried process that defines Quiet Edge Art.
Each piece invites a pause - to notice the curve of a shoreline, the silhouette of trees at dusk, or the hush of morning light. Through her art, Michelle creates space to slow down, reflect, and simply see.
Alongside her practice, Michelle is a mum of two and enjoys a happy family life in Hobart. She holds a PhD (2016) in technology and human relations and works as a data analyst in government - yet art has been her enduring passion since childhood. She studied still life sketching and gouache under her master, Shizhong Wu, from Year 7 to 12, and continues to explore and refine her craft on the island she now calls home.
