Artwork Description

In Barefoot Summer, a weathered Queenslander rises gently above lush, saturated greens, its wide verandah and latticework breathing in the heavy warmth of the tropics. A lone figure wanders barefoot through the grass below, dog at her side, caught in that in-between hour where the day slows and the air hangs soft and golden.

The house stands elevated and steady, yet the feeling is intimate — a memory of childhood freedom, long afternoons, and the simple pleasure of cool earth underfoot. Vibrant palms and painterly foliage frame the scene in rich colour, echoing the untamed energy of a Queensland summer.

This is a portrait of home not as architecture, but as feeling — open doors, salt-tinged breezes, and the quiet joy of belonging.

Barefoot Summer comes in a beautiful whitewashed floating timber frame

Artist Bio

My love of the tropics was instant after arriving in Far North Queensland in the late 1970's as an 18 year old, after a childhood spent in busy Sydney. I pedalled my pushbike up the east coast and came across Mission Beach after working on the banana farms in Tully. I was spellbound by the wonderland of plants, animals, fish, ocean, cassowaries and birds of this tropical paradise . I hoped that one day this could be home….It was. Moving here permanently in 1995.
My paintings come from my love of this place that has always held my heart, often depicting a little nostalgia of the good old days when sugarcane burnt in the season and a pub stood on every corner in town.
I hope you enjoy my collection of original paintings inspired by my beautiful surroundings at my studio in Mission Beach Nth Qld.
