Hiding in the Gum Ed. 2 of 50

Hiding in the Gum captures a fleeting glimpse of a New Holland Honeyeater nestled among gum leaves and vivid pink blossoms. Rendered in soft pastel, the piece blends fine detail with a gentle, dreamy atmosphere. The bird peeks through the foliage, its striking markings and curious eye framed by the natural tangle of leaves and colour. There’s a sense of quiet discovery—like stumbling upon a hidden moment in the bush.

I am an award-winning Melbourne-based artist, inspired by many local and international, current and historical artists of various calibres, though I would single out Leonardo Da Vinci, M.C. Escher and Giulio Campagnola as primary sources of creative inspiration attained from childhood.

I endeavour to immerse myself fearlessly in a vast array of mediums, yet continually return to the ethereal enchantment found within ink and graphite.

I hold a Diploma of Arts (Graphic) and have been navigating the ever-changing labyrinth of Graphic Design for two fruitful decades, stewarding my own studio and haven of creativity.

Digital design remains a passion, yet I continue to return to the untamed and sensory domain of physical creativity, delving into the profound intricacies of human nature and the tapestry of life's experiences with artwork both biographical and conceptual.

I was awarded winner of the 2023 Frankston Art Centre (FAC) Open Exhibition, 'Renewal' with my piece titled 'Circle of Life'
