Melancholia

An emotional self portrait as such

Follow

Artist based in Newcastle, New South Wales, working primarily in oil and acrylic paint.
Painting across subjects of still life, portraiture and landscape.
I studied Fine Art at Tafe and then University obtaining a Bachelor of Fine Art and continuing on to complete a Masters in Education to qualify as a secondary school Visual Art teacher.
My interest in art was sparked at Rudolf Steiner school as a primary student and grew from there.
I’ve had many occupations that took me away from creating but have returned to art making and have never been happier.
I love the physicality of paint and seeing it’s qualities expressed on a surface in a painterly manner often with visible brushstrokes and a varied colour palette.
