In Lutruwita/Tasmania, I paint contemporary landscapes referencing mapping. Bushwalking takes me into awe-inspiring places within Tasmania.
Since graduating from University of Tasmania in Fine Arts (Painting), I have continued to create works representing iconic Tasmanian landscapes.
In 5 solo exhibitions, and in many group exhibitions statewide, I have presented large, medium and small scale landscapes in Oil on different grounds (Linen, Clayboard, Masonite, Canvas or Artist's Oil Paper). Typically, I will paint representational details within a landscape when working through to a Conceptual Image.
In this way I learn about a place. So I can offer Representational and Conceptual Oil Paintings through Bluethumb.
Colour engages and inspires me. The cultural history of a place is as influential around me, as is the natural environment.
Through my work process, I seek potential for human connection with place that transcends temporal and cultural boundary.
I pay my respects to the owners of the unceded lands on which I walk and paint, the Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples, and to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
