Storm Warning

Storm Warning captures the quiet tension before a tropical storm. Palm trees sway gently under a sky alive with shifting color — soft pinks, golds, and deep blues hinting at what’s to come. A small beach hut and calm turquoise sea hold their stillness, moments before the wind changes. The scene feels peaceful yet expectant, a reminder of nature’s beauty and power.

Storm Warning comes in a beautiful whitewashed floating timber frame .

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.
