The Golden Cradle

Follow

I am a landscape painter whose work is deeply informed by the wonder and awe of a vast, ever-changing landscape. My practice is rooted in memory and intuition, painting atmospheric scenes of light, movement, and feelings of a place. I rarely paint the likeness of a place but rather the essence of the place so you will feel like you've been there too. An avid traveller, I am easily stopped in my tracks with the wonder of nature being fabulous. Sitting on a beach to watch a sunset until the very last hint of light disappears. Always dreaming. Always looking out for awe and the sublime.

I primarily work with acrylics, using delicate glazes and layers to achieve depth and luminosity, evoking the feeling of being within the landscape rather than observing it.

My sense of drama and wild romanticism was nurtured by youthful ballet training and a childhood in country NSW where time spent in the scrubby bushland, cooling off on river banks on forty degree days with a cicada soundtrack cemented a love and nostalgia for the big skies and ever changing landscape.

I hold a Diploma of Fine Arts and 18 years experience running a creative arts-based small business.
