Artwork Description

“Lines Etched in Ochre” captures the quiet presence of a Queenslander house drawn in fine white lines, standing against a vast expanse of deep red country. The layered brushstrokes of ochre, crimson and earthy tones suggest the shifting textures of the outback, evoking both movement and memory. The house appears almost suspended, a fragile geometry imprinted on an ancient land, speaking to the tension between permanence and change. This work reflects on how homes are placed within landscapes that hold much older stories, etched into the soil long before timber and tin took their place.

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.
