The Rockpools

I love to walk on the rock platforms near Wollongong's beaches. These fascinating coastal formations contrast as places of stillness and life against the backdrop of the dynamic movement of the the ocean. Light plays on the surface of the rockpools water, and overhangs create deep shadows. I love the varied texture of the rocks, rough and uneven surfaces sculpted by the waves. Within the pools, an abundance of life with anemones, weeds and small fish. This space between land and sea is a constant source of inspiration.

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.
