Above the Huon

This painting is strongly influenced by the Tahune Airwalk, located in the Huon Valley south of Hobart. The artwork has rich textured greens and yellow, capturing the essence of the dense Tasmanian tree canopy, and the elevated perspective of walking among the giant trees. A long dark metal length is used as a compelling abstraction of the the Airwalk’s metal walkway and cantilever that extends out over the Huon River. This line adds a stark industrial element that co trusts with the organic wilderness.

I love variety in my art and move between abstract style using mixed media., and realism. I am inspired by scenes and experiences, and I endeavour to capture the essence and movement. I enjoy colour and variety in my artwork. My painting “Between the Flags” won the Handlers Prize at the Thirroul Seaside Art Festival. “Banksia Served Three Ways” was selected as a 2022 finalist in the Hornsby Art Prize, and my still life “Town and Country” as a finalist at Bowral Art Gallery. “Inside Out” was hung as a finalist in the Hunters Hill Art Prize.
