Dwarf Builders to Gold

I had to paint a mythological creature (dwarves) for a pentacles card that is going into a tarot deck developed by a global collaboration of 80 artists. This one is a three of pentacles and I had the idea that the dwarves would be helping each other build the place underground with a magnificent door that symbolises good luck and prosperity, as per to pentacles and the three of pentacles stands for helping each other, working with an intern to build prosperity. The dwarves, being so small needed to stack up to a height so they used each other to help reach the heights and finish the last piece of building, installing the third pentacle. The oldest dwarf is the leader and he is holding a paper of the blue print of the build and instructing the three stacking dwarves.

I'm a Deaf artist, born in and living back in Melbourne after a number of years in Adelaide, South Australia. I have been practicing my arts for 18 years and exhibiting for the last decade and most recently as an international artist in Europe.

I work with watercolour, ink, gouache and mixed media to communicate my stories, transcribing perceptions of the world today and way back many thousands of years ago. Some of my works also focus on preserving history of places around local areas and afar, often on request of others and those works convey in my style of the places I paint. Sometimes, for a lighthearted comment, I paint a volkswagen adventure or doggy adventure to entertain and bring a smile to people's faces.

My studio is open for visits, so contact me to organise a studio visit. My studio is located 2 hours outside of Melbourne, but I am able to have studio visits in the city during the week in business hours between 10 am and 5 pm, and I require at least 24 hours notice on city visits.

I am starting to move towards working with acrylic and oils on abstract and semi-abstracts as well as imagery with evolved ideas and 2019 will bring new works that sees evolution in my works.
