Layers across Time

Layers of Time draws on the visual language of sedimentary strata to explore how moments accumulate and leave their mark. The work considers history not as a single event but as a slow build‑up of decisions, shifts, and eras pressing against one another. The subdued palette carries this sense of depth and gravity, suggesting a surface shaped by what lies beneath.

The horizontal bands echo geological formations, with each layer hinting at a change in conditions or a trace of what once was. In the studio, the painting becomes its own form of sedimentation: gestures, revisions, and veils of colour building upon each other until only the most recent moment remains visible.

My practice is grounded in this idea of accumulated history. Through abstraction, I build surfaces that hold depth, complexity, and the quiet influence of everything beneath them.

The artwork is unframed and comes with wire and d-rings ready to hang. The painting continues over the sides so framing is not required. The artist's name is on the front, signed and stamped on the back, and comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

"Art comes alive in the eyes of the viewer".

I am an Australian contemporary artist living surrounded by wildlife and natural bushland. As a self-taught artist I enjoy challenging myself and experimenting with different ideas and subject matters exploring the boundless possibilities of abstract and expressionism.

My influences are mostly from the stunning abstract and expressionist works of the mid-20th century. What I most enjoy about painting is the colours, shapes, patterns, brushstrokes and marks that one can use to create, or recreate, a feeling, an emotion, or just something fun. My approach is generally to reimagine the world around me and try to capture this on canvas. These re-imaginings can be inspired by objects, locations, nature and sometimes just ideas and concepts. Whilst I do sometimes create several paintings in similar styles, I generally feel the need to constantly evolve and not restrict my creativity to any one particular style. My art journey is all about embracing creativity, change, and new and exciting challenges. My mind is overflowing with ideas and the need to explore different works and push my boundaries.

I grew up in a creative family around the visual and written arts and although I principally worked in the information technology and scientific fields, I have experimented with a range of creative activities including sculpting, clay hand building, and glass fusing, before moving into watercolour abstract landscapes, and now abstract expressionism in acrylic. I am a member of the Royal Queensland Art Society, have displayed my art in many shows, and sold both nationally and internationally.

I hope you enjoy my art.
