Working mainly in oils and acrylics my art captures the activity of characters in social situations and the surrounding area. Included are landscapes, cityscapes and also interiors. I work colour into my paintings to create the atmosphere of the moment and the interaction of people. The natural environment inspires me as well I.e seeing a bird swoop through the trees or dogs playing on the beach. I grew up mainly in Rockhampton Qld and enjoyed going out with my friends alot playing sport in the backyard and bushwalks with the family. I participated in many sports at school with cricket being a favorite.
Historical subjects are also an interest which I like to feature frequently. I currently reside at the Glasshouse Mountains and my work mainly is centred around the Sunshine Coast area. My main influences are Pro Hart, Hugh Sawry, Picasso and Rembrandt.
