Artwork Description

Australian bush-fires are a good servant or a bad master! Australian rural communities and property owners set the dry grass alight, so the fuel is reduced to avoid crowning and tornado destructive fires. Many Australian native plant seeds are germinated after fire, the fresh growth supports animals and allows the landscape to remain clear of weed pests.

Artist Bio

I’ve been making art or being creative all my life, with my creativity taking many forms including multiple mediums such as: pastels, oils, acrylics, fabric piecing, writing, photography and professionally with business and community creating change.

Being based in rural and regional areas has allowed me the freedom to experience many different landscapes, people and community interactions. I contribute to a rich artist’s collective where I live, and have shared and learnt from other artists and professional teachers.

As a colourist I seek to portray vibrancy, light and love pastels with a passion because different strokes, different pressure, different textured surfaces allows for expression that’s difficult to achieve with other mediums. My love is the wide landscapes, unique vistas, mountains, deserts and seas, that are uniquely Australian.

My creative process is fed through having positive feedback loops with other artists, patrons and positive social media feedback. I hope to promote my works, exhibit widely, share and sell my works to like minded art lovers.
