Artist Statement -



The Natural world has always captured my imagination.
The rich, red sand of outback Australia, the azure blues of the ocean near where I live, patterns on a tree trunk left behind by peeling bark or the colours of a sunrise playing across the rock faces on the mountains.
These are what inspire me to paint.

My style? Expressionistic with a touch of the Abstract!
I don't paint photo realism but rather an expression of what I see and feel about the subject.
I strive to produce creative, expressive and original artworks.

I love texture, pattern and colour and the materials I choose reflect this.
I use many types of mixed media techniques, some of them specialized and very unique. Layers are built up until I have resolved the image I have in my mind.

My hope is to communicate
a Place, a Time or Memory that sparks a connection between my art and the viewer.
