I'm 33 years old and a self taught artist living in Toowoomba, Queensland. Art is one of the few things I can honestly say I am truly passionate about. To me, it is purity in a raw form and allows an escapism I hadn't ever thought possible.
I began painting in 2016 after my father passed away. I was incredibly depressed and think that if I hadn't found an outlet in painting, I’d not be here today. This changed how I began to view the world and consequently, within my art I attempt to make it more mystical and hopeful.
My dream is to eventually be able to paint full time and I want to encourage others, who may be interested, to pursue the craft themselves. It allows free expression and self-reflection that has helped turn me into the person I am today.
I paint spontaneously onto the canvas and as the creation starts to reveal itself I begin to create a scene. A scene, I hope, that reflects a more hopeful and tranquil world. I truly love the expression of painting and the freedom that it allows.
