QVB Domes

The architecture and colours of the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney always delights me. On one visit the light was just perfect making the stunning domes come alive with such a variety of colour tones. The greens against the sandstone yellows of the walls was irresistible. Add the contrast in shapes and it was a must paint situation for me.
I have completed the painting using artist quality materials. It has been satin varnished to protect it.

I have always been creative, enjoying to draw since 3 years old. However, art wasn't a prominent part of my life until several challenging and tragic family events occurred. Then in 2010 I went to TAFE and completed certificates I, II, and IV in visual art and I haven't looked back since. I currently paint using oils and acrylic.

My favourite images always come from the natural world, usually during my walks. I will see a scene where the light brings a rare moment of beauty that I want to capture for myself to relive and others to enjoy also. I photograph the scene and use it as the basis of my work but then use my memory of the moment to complete the painting.

Realism is my preferred style. I enjoy other styles between projects for variety. Recently I have been trying to represent my ideas as information visualisation abstracts.

I am very concerned about climate change and the threat to our beautiful world. My paintings capture that beauty and hopefully inspires us all to take care of our home.
