Dual Destinies

By water's gleam, a lady fair,
A flower held, beyond compare.
To serpent coiled, a gentle hand,
A kindness shown, across the land.

Entwined they are, a graceful sight,
In nature's dance, of dark and light.
One with the other, soft and low,
A bond of peace, begins to grow.

I am an artist based in Wollongong, NSW, I grew up here between the mountains and the sea. My passion lies in painting with bright and bold colours, Australian native animals, especially birds make up a lot of my inspiration, though I also like to explore flora and still life subjects. I like to accentuate the hints of colour I see within my subject matter. I love painting with a palette knife and I use mainly acrylic paints on stetched canvas.

I love to add texture to the canvas with deliberate strokes that give the subject matter definition without it always being obvious. I am a full time artist working from my home studio on the South Coast. I find great inspiration from daily beach and bush walks and I can't imagine a life where I was not able to be creative everyday, and I feel truley blessed to be on this journey.
