So many places to hide

Soft peach and blues form the basis of the palette in this piece, reminiscent of local Australian bush scenery. So many places to hide, both in my physical body but also hiding out from thoughts and wonderings. Both ideas speak to me and are captured in the expressive gestural brushwork and colour in this piece.

I trained as a ceramic artist but am now enjoying the immediacy of painting. My work explores gesture, emotion and memory, capturing landscapes that for me, evoke memories and feelings of a certain time and place.
The spontaneous nature of my brushwork captures the passing moment spent in a landscape, the feeling and mood that a familiar space provokes. My work is mostly inspired by local landscapes, coastal and bush and the colour palette represents these. My colour palette is intentionally a soft and muted one, from the landscape, which suggests the softening of recollections and memories over time ,
