ARTIST STATEMENT:

I am an abstract realist painter from the Surf Coast of Victoria. My work is representational in my expression of still life and portraiture.
In my practice I use nostalgic archetypes from a bygone era to make social comment about the everyday lives and experiences of people in the community. Specifically, in the domestic environment.
By using predominant oils and acrylics I aim to evokes feelings of nostalgia. Combining collage and a limited pallet with these traditional media, I work to arouse sentimental connections with the viewer.
The combination of abstraction and realism within my work highlights the ephemeral yet eternal search for human connection

My work is represented in private collections Internationally and Australia wide.
