I am an artist living on the beautiful Mid North Coast. I have previously studied ceramics, sculpture, printmaking and painting but now I am concentrating mainly on my painting. I have a love of bright colours, natural forms, intricate patterns and abstract design. I love to play between flat plains of colour, small abstract details and realism. Most of my art is intuitive as I never know where it's going to take me and get very excited when great things happen. I have been greatly inspired by many artists but by far the most influential has been the art of the Australian Aboriginal people. Their use of colour and design is second to none. My love of all things unusual and mystical greatly influences my painting technique and choice of subject matter. My materials of choice are canvas and acrylic paints. I find acrylics so versatile and compliment my style and subject choice.
