Memories of an outback town

This painting is inspired by my time teaching in Blackall in the outback heartland region of Queensland. It has naieve elements; bright primarys, a wide Queensland cerulean blue sky, desert sand in yellow for the unpaved main street, vehicles, figures, houses with red rooves tarnished by the heat under green leafy gum trees.

I am an artist originally from Alice Springs NT who also lived in Geraldton WA and then Tasmania. Now I am based on Queenslands Sunshine Coast. I completed my Bachelor of Contemporary Arts in 2002 followed this with a Bachelor of Teaching.
I have held Exhibitions at the Train Yards Art Centre in Launceston Tasmania, The Groovy Penguin Cafe in Tasmania. I exhibited work in Honolulu Hawaii. I have also had works displayed in Galleries in Ottawa Canada and sold works for commission and by consignment.
I consider my style figurative and expressionist. I like to include inner meanings, metaphors, stories and symbolism in my paintings. The mediums I use to create mixed media paintings include acrylic, encaustic and oil. I prefer to paint on stretched canvas.
My paintings are partly planned and often improvised along the way.

Enjoy.
