Midnight Botanica

“Midnight Botanica” captures the quiet magic of a Queenslander house nestled in an imagined moonlit garden. Lush, stylised foliage in deep purples, blues and greys rise up like shadows under a glowing magenta sky, creating a sense of mystery and wonder. The white linework of the home appears almost ghostly—half remembered, half dreamt—hovering between the natural and built world. This piece evokes a surreal, mystical mood, where the night blooms and the garden whispers secrets only the moon can hear.

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.
