'Night Panther' comes from a place in my mind that has been a little obsessed with panthers and leopards lately. A panther hides in the shadows and he is feared but he is also beautiful and longs for acceptance. This piece is made to be admired, it reflects the primitive parts of us that still exist and don't always need to be hidden.

I have been a creative for as long as I can remember - always doodling, sketching, painting and making. I get influence from people close to me as well as nature that surrounds and intrigues me - particularly Australian flora and fauna. I am inspired by ancient and tribal art, colour, patterns, symbolism and expressionism. I have a quirky sense of humour and fun, so that usually comes through in my pieces as well.
