Moonlight grove

“Moonlight Grove” evokes the quiet mystery of a stand of gums bathed in moonlight. Their pale trunks, brushed with soft lilac, sage green, and earthy red, seem to glow against a deep indigo sky, as if lit from within. The paint dances in gestural strokes, capturing the way bark reflects silvery light after dark. There’s a stillness here—a sense of hushed awe that falls over the bush when night settles in. This work celebrates the subtle beauty of eucalyptus under a moonlit sky, reimagined through an abstract, dreamlike lens.

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.
