I have been making art in one form or another for most of my life. I have a small garden studio in South-East Queensland, Australia.
My paintings are intuitive and I have no set plan other than an idea of a colour palette. More often than not, I will start with a scribble and some mark making and see where this takes me. Somewhere along the way and after many, many layers of paint, the work shows itself in a rather unexpected way.
My aim for my artwork is to create something bright, cheerful and energetic. I work with acrylics and mixed media on paper, canvas and board and I am drawn to old and weathered surfaces and places with a sense of history and fascination. Many of my paintings are inspired by my travels and lived experiences.
