Between Tide and Light

This painting captures the quiet pause between sea and sky, where the mudflats stretch out beneath a radiant horizon. The boardwalk, drawn in fine white lines, leads the viewer into the intertidal zone — a place of stillness, yet constant change. Bands of vivid colour evoke the shifting light of dusk or dawn, when the tide rests low and the sky spills its brilliance across the flats. Standing here feels like standing between worlds, suspended between tide and light.

My paintings are vibrant, bold and eye-catching. I love bright colours that evoke a feeling of joy and delight!

I paint imaginative urban-themed environments, landscapes, gardens, wilderness, mountains and character houses.

The palettes of my paintings are consistently strikingly vivid that bring energy and life to my harmonious compositions.

My work leans towards an abstract stylisation with simplified shapes and block colours, but this is balanced with intricate details and patterns. I like to think of it as a maximalist-minimalist style.

Each piece focuses on a balance between the foreground and background which guides the viewer through the paintings.

My background is in landscape architecture and urban design. My passion for my place making career is an influence on my work. I focus on creating an aspirational “sense of place” and utopic vision, mostly set around my home in the Moreton Bay region in South-East Queensland.
