Star Attraction

When I first came across this scene I thought of someone being thrust onto centre stage - perhaps against their will and feeling vulnerable - with the remaining cast in the background. Melbourne's Botanical Gardens.

Painting for me is a journey of inner discovery and I’m constantly pushing myself to the limit to achieve this. It’s always about the light, with the viewer being enticed to enter these scenes and explore the atmosphere in them. Cool colours are preferred as they create a sense of depth in the work.
At the moment my paintings cover 3 themes;
Expanse – where I depict vast open spaces. I enjoy the challenge of creating depth.
Seclusion – here I explore the consoling and recuperative powers of Melbourne’s Royal Botanical Gardens.
Interiors - the psychology of interior spaces.
I prefer working with oils as I enjoy the texture and illusionistic qualities of that medium.
