Artwork Description

“Melaleuca Daydream” drifts between reality and reverie, capturing the gentle presence of paperbark trees standing quietly in the landscape. Their textured trunks - peeling, curling and marked by years of weather and growth - become almost sculptural against the soft blues and greens of the background. The loose lines and layered paint echo the natural patterns found in melaleuca bark, inviting the viewer to slow down and notice its subtle beauty. It’s a piece that feels calm and grounded, as though you’ve paused under a stand of paperbarks and let the daydream take hold.

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.
