Artwork Description

This particular painting was inspired by the changing of the seasons moving into winter and enjoying the last few weeks of warmer weather out bush walking through national parks.

This series of landscapes are inspired by the rich natural surroundings I have been enjoying since moving to Tasmania. The beauty of these landscapes is also influencing the figurative work I am creating giving a greater sense of depth and story. I love how these scenes give a sense of life and energy to the landscape, and capture the many moods I observe in the land while I am on bush walks.

As an artist I have exhibited over 33 times, and my work has been sold to collectors all over the world.
If there’s just a few things I could share about myself I would say I love storytelling, I have a curious personality, and my mind is often dreaming about the future.

I’ve been a creative person my whole life, starting with colouring in comic books when I was a little kid and have been a pretty big comic nerd ever since. What I love so much about comics is the amplified storytelling, and my love of storytelling has carried through all elements of my life. For me it’s the storytelling that I love in jokes, music, movies, relationships and art.
​
It’s my curious nature that often has me stopping to notice the colour combinations of plants, landscapes, cityscapes and seascapes. These offerings I see everyday feed my inspiration. My curious nature also drives a lot of my art themes. I use my art to figure things out, how the body, the mind, the heart, and nature works. Funnily enough I also like to build things because I get a buzz figuring out how things go together.
​
It’s in part from my curiosity that I am often dreaming about the future. Sometimes in the short term thinking about what I can do for my next project or art series, and often in the distant future thinking about what the earth will be like in a thousand years, what a colonised mars will be like, what a future human will be.

A graphite portrait drawing of a woman sitting with her back to the viewer while she looks over her shoulder directing her gaze to them. The woman has one hand raise across her body up to her head holding her long hair up while the other arm is out of sight, it is assumed that it is holding up the sheet which drapes across her lower half. Across her back is a bouquet of flowers ranging in type and size, covering her lower back right up to the bottom of her face.A graphite portrait of a woman from the neck up, looking directly forward at the viewer. The drawing is composed of an overlay of the same drawing 3 times misaligned to create an out of focus experience for the viewer. The drawing has been completed on a more textured paper to enhance the sense of disorientation in the details.A portrait of a young woman standing at a 3/4 angle tilting her right side away from the viewer. The drawing is in graphite pencil, with a technique of realism, although there are elements of surrealism in the portrait. The woman is holding a rabbit as though nursed in her arms, while her long flowing hair comes down over her shoulder and morphs into a fox which has bitten down into the rabbit. Apart from this act of violence from the fox, the portrait conveys a sense of happiness and calm with the woman smiling and standing in a relaxed pose, holding the rabbit in a nurturing way.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.
