Dawnscape

During winter I stood in my front yard and painted the sky, just before dawn. There's a hushed moment each time the day begins. This fleeting but profound time is what inspired me and I wanted to capture the light and the feelings it generated. When half the sky is dark and starry. Whilst the other half rapidly lights up with incredible reds, yellows and violets.

Inspired by the introspective awe that nature evokes, my work invites viewers to celebrate light, wilderness, and the elemental forces that shape our world. Each painting captures a moment of wonder — where the landscape reveals its own subtle symbols.
Growing up in Tasmania instilled in me a deep appreciation for wild places. Over time, I’ve realised that my art is both a way of documenting the world and a way of processing it. My images move between observation and imagination, exploring dreams, memory, and the natural forms that feel like glyphs in an primeval language.
I studied in Hobart, completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts.Later, I lived in Scotland and England, visiting galleries across the UK and Europe. Since returning to Australia and settling in Melbourne, painting has become my primary medium.
My work shifts between surrealism, symbolism, and landscape. I’m inspired equally by real environments and mythical or emotional forces. I’ve painted scenes from Tasmania’s East Coast, Phillip Island, and Margate Beach, as well as imagined landscapes shaped by elemental energy.
I currently work with professional‑grade acrylics on hardboard or canvas, creating durable, high‑quality pieces. Each painting is fitted with hanging wire and ready to display.
