My work is intuitive and process- driven.
I am drawn to a fertile zone between abstraction and realism and I am particularly satisfied when my paintings straddle these genres. I want the image to be mutable; I like it when scale is ambiguous, when the macro and the micro slide in and out of awareness, when I’m not quite sure if I’m looking at an aerial view or the patterns on a leaf because both visual realities co-exit.
I am inspired by the landscape of the central Victorian goldfields, where I live. I commence with compositional goals and encourage random occurrences. Improvisation and transience are integral concepts to my creative endeavour.
I am represented by Westend Artspace in Melbourne and Dickerson Gallery, Woollahra NSW. . My work is represented in the book ‘Cold Wax Medium; Techniques, Concepts and Conversations’ (Rebecca Crowell and Jerry McLaughlin
