Painting about this country, my experience within it, and connection to it.

I consider each painting to be a little celebration of the planet that we live on...
In the north of Australia everything glows and sparkles in the bleaching sun.
I am surrounded by giant granite boulders, mountains, ocean and a rich amount of animal and plant life... the natural world defines experience here.
I paint about this environment and my experience within that.
It is an intuitive and exploratory process where I relish the physical qualities of the various media: acrylics, oils, watercolours, ochres, pastels, volcanic rock, charcoal and graphite, among others...
I am interested in how the various media respond to each other and at times can suggest or reflect the earths processes and our own human processes.
