No Rush

An old lady with a shopping cart misses her bus by moments and calmly steps back to wait for the next one outside my local cafe. I observe from my car stopped at the signal. How unhurried, uncomplicated she looked. Happy to wait for the next bus which could be in thirty minutes or an hour, and in the meantime, she was happy to just watch the world go by. Living life in slow motion. That’s a rarity in the times we exist in. I was humbled and inspired because here I was, meters from her, drumming on the steering wheel impatiently, willing the arrow to go green so I can speed off to my next stop. What a contrast! And a great inspo for a painting for sure!

I am a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Sydney, Australia. My work is inspired by nature and the happenings in the world around me. I am interested in capturing and conveying the movement of my subjects in a realistic style and also like expressing myself abstractly. I hold a Bachelor of Visual Arts and Design degree. I usually allow my subjects to dictate the media and while I enjoy creating in watercolor, oils, ceramics and print media, my favorite mode of expression is acrylic on canvas. I am sensitive to the social, political, cultural and environmental issues affecting the world in my time and it is often reflected in my work.
