“As the days shorten and the seasons shift, I find myself drawn again to the winding beauty of the Wingecarribee River and the captivating landscapes of the Southern Highlands. It’s a place where the summer sun casts a golden glow, and winter’s embrace brings a misty atmosphere that seems to whisper secrets of ages past.

For me, the Wingecarribee River holds a special place in my heart. Its winding path through the Southern Highlands has become a familiar companion over the years, tracing a route through natural landscapes that resonate deeply within my soul. Whether I’m wandering its banks on a crisp Autumn morning or overwhelmed in the atmosphere of a Wintery dusk, each moment spent in its presence leaves a mark on my artistic spirit.

The Southern Highlands have become a magnet for my creative expression. What began as simple sketches and leisurely bushwalks has evolved into a deep exploration of the landscape through painting, drawing and intaglio printmaking.

In sharing this journey with you, I hope to invite you into the world of evocative landscapes, where every brushstroke and etched line tells a story of connection, inspiration, and discovery.”
