Pomegranates

I adore the voluptuous substance of the pomegranate. Their full, round and slightly facetted shape, the intense colour of the skin and the rich sparkling disorganised intensity of the arils inside. They hold centre stage in many traditional cultures at the time of births, deaths and marriages where they are used in ritual rights of passage. I have been depicting them for over 30 years.

I have painted all my life and I am fascinated by the quirky things that can sometimes happen, both real and imagined. I love the grand expanse of the Australian landscape, the pure spirit of animals and amusing juxtapositions. It is important that art is fun. It is meant to bring joy to the creator and the viewer.

I enjoy the printmaking process, especially linoprints, etchings and collographs.

I also paint in oils on board, mixed media, watercolour and acrylic on canvas. I have illustrated book covers and taught art to school children. I have exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions.
