Rosewater - medium Ed. 8 of 15

“When you truly sing, you sing yourself free. When you truly dance, you dance yourself free. When you walk in the mountains or swim in the sea, again, you set yourself free.”
― Jay Woodman

I love the feeling of stillness associated with floating underwater, that sublime moment where you feel complete freedom; buoyant, suspended and able to swirl and dance and move your body in any way you choose without restriction. The roses emphasise the dreamy, otherworldly feeling experienced underwater.

Stories for walls and art for dreamers.

As a child I was enchanted with the fairy tales my parents read to me, believing the world was full of magic and mystery. Through photography I bring to life the kinds of stories I adored in my youth. These are the stories that bend and break the rules of reality. Where magic is part of the fabric of the universe.

I am a self-taught photographer who uses trick photography and Photoshop, along with characters, costumes, props and posing, to blend fantasy into the every day. My stories for walls offer an escape into a more interesting reality where people and the natural environment coexist in a harmonious relationship with just a touch of magic.

My work has been featured on a number of book covers and included in publications such as PhotoPlus Magazine, the Huffington Post, Bored Panda, Digital Photography School, and Our Narangba Magazine, among others. My portraits have been winners and finalists in the Heritage Bank Photographic Awards, MAMA National Photography Prize, Bowness Photography Prize, Brisbane Art Awards, Myself Prize, Clayton Utz Art Awards, Milburn Art Prize and Contemporary Art Awards.
