Statement

I am interested in a range of subject matter. It could be figurative, or portraits of people who intrigue me, memories or imaginations, or concerns about the natural environment, and what it feels like to be immersed in landscape.

Landscape painting to me is a medium through which I can express my inner response to nature. This can include my trips abroad, the Australian Outback or the coastline and inlet where I walk every morning where I can be interested in the ever-changing rise and fall of the tide and its strong moods of both desolation and desire

I use a variety of techniques and materials to create colour, space and texture and the beauty of light and how it defines the surface of things, be it skin, or land, sky, water.
