Bare Bark

This painting was inspired by the beautiful colours and rugged elegance of the eucalyptus. The use of impasto gives the bark a physical presence that brings the scene to life. The eye is drawn to linger on the texture of the bark.this painting would sit beautifully with natural woods and linens, and against grey, neutral or sage green walls, bringing a grounded, peaceful feel to the room.

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. I am a member of the Illawarra Art Society and participate in their regular exhibitions.
