Interpretation

“Interpretation” reflects my ability to read the landscape through form, colour and contour. As a landscape architect, I have spent years analysing land understanding slopes, patterns, movement and what lies beneath the surface. This work translates that professional language into something intuitive and emotional.

Rather than depicting a specific place, the painting represents how land feels once it has been absorbed, remembered and reimagined. Contours become expressive rather than technical, and the landscape is interpreted through memory, experience and instinct. It speaks to a way of seeing that comes from long familiarity reading the land not just with the eyes, but through lived connection.

This piece sits between observation and imagination, acknowledging the structured ways we learn to understand landscape while allowing space for personal interpretation, emotion and creativity to take over.

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.
