Artwork Description

"Raised in Red Earth" is a vibrant and evocative tribute to the resilience and beauty of homes built on inland soil. A white linework Queenslander hovers gently above a richly layered landscape of pinks, ochres and deep magentas, evoking the colours of the outback at dusk. The ground is alive with painterly textures and dotted vegetation, hinting at the quiet hum of life in arid country. This piece captures the strength of place and memory, and the way architecture sits lightly—but meaningfully—on the ancient land beneath.

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.
