‘Evasive I’

This is quite a complex work, consisting of many layers, a lot of sanding and scraping back, seeing what lies beneath, a process that took many days. As human beings we are always looking for something that may or may not exist, chasing shadows, that is the story behind this work. While a very busy painting, in some ways, it also is a calm work, on the wall it has a quiet stillness and presence.

I have been making art for about thirty years. I completed‚ with honors‚ in the eighties, a ceramic course and have had a passion for raku‚ saggar and sawdust fired pottery ever since. I am also a painter‚ creating abstract landscapes and abstract work on canvas and wood. I delight in experimenting with different mediums and textures. I use plaster as a base and then carve back into the surface, creating many layers, colours and very intriguing patterns. Every piece of work is a journey, lots of experimenting, and lots of personal challenges. I have won lots of awards which is always very satisfying, however, infinitely more satisfying is knowing that someone liked a work enough to buy it, and found joy in hanging it in their home. My work has sold all over Australia and overseas
