My work explores our connection with nature and the profound effect it has on us. Inspired by the NSW Far South Coast, I capture tidal waterways, rugged coastlines, native botanicals and birdlife through expressive layers of colour and texture. My paintings celebrate nature's rhythms, the passing of time and the beauty of growth, decay and renewal. I hope to inspire others to slow down, look closer and appreciate the natural world, believing that what we love, we are more likely to protect.
