TENACITY

I have always been in awe of trees that seem to be able to survive and grow whilst rooted into rock seemingly without earth or nourishment. In this painting, I attempted to capture the spirit of tenacity and perseverance and being able to overcome obstacles and push through adversity. "Tenacity" is a visual representation of the strength and determination that we all have within us, waiting to be unleashed.

I love nature and our beautiful world and hope to share, via my paintings, some more remote vistas with anyone else who appreciates the bush, beach and far away places.

Born and bred in Brisbane, I have also lived in London, Sydney and Melbourne. Whenever I am away, I feel the pull of my beloved homeland and am always grateful to be living in such a wonderful country!

Being a keen traveller, I have collected many images in my head and camera from all over the world. These provide me with an almost unlimited supply of inspiration with which to create my oil paintings. Painting these images is a wonderful opportunity to re-live my life experiences.

When I’m not painting, I run a small group which helps to promote Brisbane’s Emerging Artists and their art.
