The moment I realised

The Moment I Realised — Three Colours Series

This painting began with just three colours — Mattise Red Light, Cadmium Orange and White. How much can colour alone say? The answer, it turns out, is everything.
This painting features the loops and circles I love and they drift and pulse across a warm coral ground, the neon orange almost vibrating against the soft blush beneath.
The Moment I Realised is the first work in my new Three Colours Series, an ongoing exploration of what becomes possible when you strip everything back to three colours and let colour do the talking.

I have been painting for twenty years — first quietly, as a private practice, and now with the intention of sharing that joy with others.
I am a Melbourne-based artist working in acrylic, and my paintings are explorations of joy, colour and the things I love — birds, flowers, botanicals and the hidden geometry I find everywhere in the natural world.
My work brings together two things: the expressive abstract world of colour and mark-making, and the observed, loved creatures and objects from my daily life. A spotted pardalote in the garden. A magnolia in bloom. The loops and forms that repeat across nature.
Every painting is one of a kind, made in my Melbourne studio — for people who want to feel something when they walk into a room.
