Pandanus Forest

The Pandanus forest at Point Cartright on the Sunshine coast of Queensland, Australia, inspired this Oil painting. The oil paint is thickly applied in some areas of the artwork and has a textured surface that evokes the feeling and shapes of the trees. I felt that each tree has its own character, and have tried to capture this in the painting.

I have always drawn and painted, it's in my blood. I put myself through Griffith university and completed my Bachelor of Visual Arts in fine art and an Honours year after that completed in 1996. Since then I have had solo exhibitions and group exhibitions of my work, much of it conceptual in the early years. I have a great love of nature and science which has come through in my work. I love travel and have recently travelled to exotic countries like Egypt, Morocco, Turkey, Spain, Greece, Ireland and Scotland so my work has been inspired by the spiritual and cultural aspects of these wonderful places.
