'My work is inspired by organic forms in nature, particularly by the coastal landscape of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast where I currently reside. My paintings are meditations on the abstract elements within nature. I am endlessly fascinated by the kaleidoscopic reflections and fragments of light, color and shape that interplay as microcosms within the wider landscape. '
