Grant is a passionate artist working in oils and acrylics whose works are held in many private collections throughout Australia and North America.
Grant’s subjects and styles are very eclectic but a few areas of specialty are…
• Australian landscape, Americana, Cubism influenced abstract, Still life flora, Legacy paintings
A special feature that Grant offers on a commission basis is ‘legacy paintings’. Grant will paint a family legacy painting from any photo (e.g. a childhood home) and turn it in to a beautiful painting that will become a lasting legacy for any family
In his own words...
Often people comment to me about the variety of styles that I paint. I call it eclectic, but some people just call it ‘undecided’, and they are probably right. But I am eclectic in most things that I do. And so it is with painting! I love to paint semi-abstract/cubism/still life in bright colours - yet having said that, painting landscapes is something I love dearly. I have a strong attachment for the country yet I have never lived in the country. In fact, I am a city guy through and through. I'm scared of cows and can never figure out farm gates. I am an urban dweller who loves the coffee shops and culture. But the country, the bush, the forest is where I find myself and my Creator and where too, I have fallen in love with the land.
I also draw my inspiration from having travelled the world mostly through much of America and my homeland Australia where anything with shape, colour and architecture can catch my attention. I paint in oils and acrylics from semi-realism to traditional to semi-impressionism and I love it all. I paint what I love and I want you to experience what I love about it. The subject, the light, the mood and colours all combine to become the story I want to tell you in my painting.
