Floral Valleys and Golden Peaks

Working with gold foil and collage, my signature hand embellished bird prints have evolved over the years to reflect my passion for colour. This work is heavily influenced by my current obsession with florescent pink and the amazing work of current contemporary abstract artists.
I like to create abstract works around my birds which evoke an Australiana feel and something of the bold and structural shapes of the Australian Flora.
