Artwork Description

Based on my belief that our world could be changed enormously by a close encounter from a "cosmic body" - maybe too close for comfort? This may have the effect of turning water "bitter" (wormwood) by the action of acid rain as a result of the action of a meteor/asteroid on our atmosphere.

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 !
