Truth Seeker

It is sometimes hard know your own truth, to see it clearly without the distraction or influence so often presented in daily life. To stay focused on the pursuit of truth can be uncomfortable, it can ask us to to give up other activities or relationships that pull us away from it. When we find our truth, when we can see it clearly past all of the distractions that by design blur that vision, it can provide a sense of belonging and sense of greater purpose, a reason for being.

A graphite portrait shows a woman from the neck up, looking directly at the viewer. The drawing has been completed with a realistic style, though it includes surreal / fantasy elements such as horns growing out from the woman's temples, and a third eye opened on the centre of forehead. The horns curl back from her temples, around her ears with the sharp points following her cheek bones forward pointing towards her lips. The third eye is positioned vertically on her forehead and also looks towards the viewer. The woman has long dark hair that is pulled back tightly with some loose strands visible.

The Psyche, The Dreamscape, and The Australian Soul.

My practice is an ongoing visual reflection on the human psyche, focusing on emotion, identity, and the individual's place in the world. I explore these themes through surreal figurative works, where subjects bridge the gap between reality and fantasy.

Recently, this lens has expanded to incorporate Australiana themes, exploring the unique spirit of the Australian landscape and culture within my dreamscapes. Through this work, I aim to delve into the relationship between mortality and spirituality, creating beauty in the dialogue between the seen and unseen.
