A Serene Encounter Beneath the Surface

The Turtle That’s Found Many New Homes

There are moments in life that feel suspended in time. One such moment was captured in the tranquil waters of the Whitsundays, Australia, when acclaimed photographer Liam Lynch crossed paths with an old soul of the sea - a graceful green sea turtle. This mesmerising piece, titled Gliding Turtle, reflects not only Liam's deep connection to the ocean but also his two decade journey in marine photography that began with his first turtle sighting in Cuba, 2005.

“With the early morning light filtering through the surface and the old man of the sea gently gliding past, a truly magical moment was captured.” ~ Liam Lynch

Gliding Turtle has become a treasured centrepiece in a number of distinctive spaces across Australia, from restaurant walls to personal sanctuaries and celebrated architectural projects. From sun-drenched interiors to architect-designed coastal homes, this print continues to inspire calm, awe and meaningful connection with nature.

“Just like these beautiful sea turtles do, lets drift with the currents and keep coming up for air when needed.” ~ Liam Lynch

“When Lachy and Ryan dined at Moke in Flinders and spotted this print hanging above the fireplace, they knew instantly it was the missing piece to complement the colour scheme and design of their stylish Prahran townhouse. It’s not often I get the chance to personally deliver and install my work, but it was a real pleasure to do so on this occasion.” ~ Liam Lynch
