I am a mixed media Artist and Art Educator Living in the hills of Kalamunda Perth W.A drawing inspiration from my local environment and nature. I developed an appreciation for Naive Art after many years of teaching and being exposed to all aspects of art. During this time I explored and experimented with this unaffected, whimsical and charming form of art, developing my own style and approach that also leans towards Abstract Expessionism.
My subject matter explores houses, birds, animals, nature, flowers and the landscape with a refreshing and open-mind to not formalise it, but rather to stylise it and engage my inner child.
Works have a strong focus on colour, shape, texture, patterning and composition by delivering it in its simplest form. Many mediums are incorporated into my art including ink, watercolours, acrylics, oil, pastels, pencil, paper and materials. Art if often executed on canvas, however I also use paper, board, fabric and recycled materials.
