Artwork Description

Working with shapes and colours in an intuitive way. I let the picture develop and let it suggest what works and what does not. For me at least. The viewer is the other part of the subjective process and may be different to the author of the work. That's what I love about art.

Artist Bio

Studied architecture in 1960 and started painting the same year. I became more involved in art and began to work primarily on landscapes while living in Tasmania from the early 70's. I also studied sculpture and metal casting in Launceston and assisted Stephen Walker in his foundry for a short time. I have exhibited both paintings and sculpture in Australia and overseas and represented in various private collections.
I paint what I feel, not necessarily what I see.
I'm not overly fond of pretty pictures.
I want the viewer to be drawn into my pictures - love them or not !
