Floral Coral

***First Place Winner at Pine Rivers Show 2024 for Non-Traditional Painting ***

Is it a flower? Is it coral?
It’s a bit of both. I was playing around with shapes that have both a coral and a flower look and to show the comparison there are fish and birds. So it’s up to you whether it’s a floral scene or a coral scene.

Painted with acrylic paint in the background. The floral coral details are worked over with Posca Paint Pens.

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.
