Artwork Description

The painting, "Brisbane Planetarium" beautifully blends the celestial and terrestrial worlds.

The Brisbane Planetarium, with its vibrant pink domes, sits amidst a lush garden of vividly painted greens and blues. The intricate foliage captures the vitality of the botanical gardens, while the deep, star-studded night sky above invites the viewer to gaze upward and marvel at the cosmos. The stars, mapped to Brisbane's sky on the night that this was painted (10 January 2025), add a layer of authenticity and personal connection. This piece reflects a passion for stargazing and the tranquil beauty of the gardens, creating a harmonious and aspirational sense of place.

Artist Bio

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.
