Molten memory

Bold, blazing and dreamlike, “Molten Memory” evokes a landscape caught between earth’s ancient past and a vivid, imagined present. Vibrant rock-like forms — built from molten reds, searing oranges, lilacs and electric blues — rise from a richly layered green ground, like glowing fragments of geological memory scattered across a primordial terrain. Above, a warm pink sky stretches expansively, casting an otherworldly glow that blurs the line between land and atmosphere.

The painting explores transformation and time — how solid forms shift, erode, and re-form — yet here those natural processes are reimagined in unapologetically joyful colour. Each molten shape becomes a repository: of place, heat, pressure, and recollection. A celebration of the earth’s fiery origins, “Molten Memory” invites viewers to contemplate the emotional landscape we inherit beneath our feet — and the beauty that can erupt from beneath the surface.

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.
