The nature of my artwork is spoken though the language of abstraction and my ritualistic, determination to pursue the multiple possibilities of any subject matter. Vertical, horizontal, lines, blocks of negative space and layered colours create an abstraction of a natural environment. The flowing lines and symbols of realism, allows you to think without making specific references to a subject allowing the viewer to freely identify with the natural and figurative element in my work.

Two major influences in my early years have shaped my future: my family’s immersion in art, and the outdoors. Hiking around Australia, New Zealand and the childhood experiences of riding horses in the outback of the Darling Downs have imprinted in my head and heart a passion for unspoiled nature.
I have learned that the power of art can influence the feelings of people. Doodling with a pen has become a passion of mine, and this passion is intertwined with intricacy and artistic detail. Using a pen as the primary medium I have found that ‘I don’t have to make things look real, but I use realism as a strategy for smuggling in something else.
I make art because I can’t imagine not making art.
The challenge of completing a painting requires the use of many critical thinking skills that I try to develop in my work. Analyzing ideas or concepts to develop a painting, interpreting the significant parts of the painting and using them to convey my meaning into the painting to others.
My art is fixed firmly in the visual world and paint is the medium I have chosen to express myself.
