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.
