Artwork Description

This piece of art was created I the streets of Paris. Very Close to Montmartre. It has as its base, a torn piece of a poster that has seen the worst of the weather. I loved the shapes and the way the colours related to each other. I used a multiple exposure in my camera to create a little of a watercolour like effect.
Each time I see it, I am immediately taken back to that day in early 2020 when I was wandering around Paris with my camera.

The image is printed on Canson Fine Art Paper with archival inks. It can be printed as small as A4 or as large as A2.

Please contact me for a quote if you wish it to be printed on canvas or framed.

Artist Bio

My passion for photography was finally unleashed when I retired from education in 2010. Since then my knowledge and my style have developed considerably. I have had many opportunities through courses, workshops, mentoring, travel and exhibitions to nurture my passion for photography.

My style is more impressionism than realism. My passion is seascapes.

I decided a number of years ago that the seascapes I wanted to create would be more painterly, perhaps more gentle. I use a variety of techniques to make my images but the core of my work is created in camera. I use post processing to add another dimension and to resolve the image.

My work is not limited to seascapes. As a Blue Mountains resident, I have found a way of interpreting my local landscape. I don’t try to compete in style with the amazing landscape photographers who I admire, rather I try to put my own emphasis on the images I choose to capture. For the past 4 years I have had a relatively large body of work at the Blackheath Hub where my work became known. I am active in the Mtns Made community and I have valued getting to know other artists in my local area. I have been involved in a number of group photography exhibitions including in the Palm House, Botanic Gardens Sydney; Everglades, Leura; Braemar in Springwood; National Parks Govetts Leap Blackheath.

I print most of my own work in my home studio on my Epson large format using archival papers and inks. The work featured initially on Bluethumb is some of my local Blue Mountains and rural scenes.
