Artwork Description

Sourcing this content involves an emotional connection. I often use myself and family members to provide this meaningful content. I follow an intuitive process that allows freedom of expression using mark making. Here the content is my son's visit to the Styx Valley in Tasmania, known for its
unadulterated rainforest.

Artist Bio

I have always been fascinated by art from a young age. In 1988, I began my journey in the arts by pursuing a Bachelor of Visual Arts at Launceston's Tasmanian State Institute of Technology. However, in 2020, a change in circumstances led me to continue my artistic journey by undertaking a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Tasmania's School of Creative Arts. Through my studies, I have had the opportunity to explore unconventional processes, techniques, materials, and ways of interpreting the world through contemporary art.

I find inspiration in emotional states, events, and the often-overlooked beauty of the natural world. My goal is to capture what I envision and sense in my artwork. For me, the process of creation is just as important as the final outcome. I have no interest in mass producing my art or confining myself to specific mediums or styles. Instead, I prefer to rely on my instincts to achieve honest interpretations.
