Artwork Description

This artwork was the second place winner at the Pine Rivers Show 2025 - Non-traditional painting category.

“Metamorphosis” is a striking celebration of transformation, expressed through both the natural life cycle of a butterfly and the shifting hues of the surrounding flora. The journey from egg to caterpillar, cocoon, and butterfly is delicately woven into the composition, with each stage transitioning from black to grey to white, symbolising growth and renewal.

The plants themselves embody change, their colours evolving through an ombré effect, seamlessly blending from deep, rich tones into radiant pinks and purples. The artwork’s vivid contrast and layered details create a dreamlike atmosphere, inviting the viewer to reflect on the beauty of change and the ever-evolving rhythm of nature.

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.
