Artwork Description

Currently most of my work concentrates on the environment where I live. We are all acutely aware of the climate crisis, but rather than focus on the threats I try show the positives; the natural beauty we all have fight to retain. The scene in this painting is of Narrabeen Lake (from the Western side) just as the pelican meets the water.

Hi thanks for taking the time to check out my profile.

Throughout my working life I have enjoyed painting as a hobby, but since retiring over ten years ago I am able to focus on it.

I have been fortunate to receive tuition from two well recognised artists. Ben Smith (2 years) and Jessica Ashton (1 year)both previous Archibald finalists and tutors with Julian Ashton Academy in Sydney and I am proud to say they have both had had a huge affect on my work.

I now live on Gold Coast and Upper North Shore, Sydney and enjoy memberships with art groups in both places. In Sydney I am a member of Beaches Art Collective and in Queensland I’m a member of Royal Queensland Art Society, Broadbeach. I exhibit at both galleries, a portfolio of previous work can also be found on Instagram #keith.nuke.
