Growing up in country Victoria, Australia I developed a love of the natural world and have always been drawn to creativity. I have sold my artwork in many different formats and outlets. I live in Toowoomba, a regional city in Queensland. I work mainly in acrylic, watercolour and pencil and photography.
Nature inspires my work. Flowers, birds and Australian wildlife, patterns of nature, macro photography, which at times represents as abstract. My photos have very little post editing keeping the image close to the original capture. I am constantly in awe of the simplicity and beauty around me but also aware of the complexity within the simplicity and the fragility and interconnection of life. I am known for my paintings of both detailed nature pieces and abstract work. I am now beginning to share my love of photography too.
My paintings are often flora and fauna of the Australian bush completed in fine detail but also abstract pieces encompassing an emotional response.
My more detailed works are completed in a traditional method and planned from the outset. My abstract pieces are intuitive and experimental in approach and often a release from completing such detailed work. Inspiration comes from places I have been and always have a personal connection.
Please enjoy what I have to share.
