Leaf Matters

This beautiful autumn toned transparent watercolour has been painted on 300 gsm 100% cotton paper and custom framed behind glass, in a brushed finish pewter coloured timber frame 2 cm wide with a bevelled inner edge. This work is original and in the style of negative painting, where numerous transparent washes are applied carefully to create dimension. There is a mysterious and calming quality to this painting and it is one of my favourite negative painting pieces. This is a unique and quality piece of artwork beautifully presented. Viewers will want to look endlessly for hidden spaces and intrigue.

I have been teaching workshops in painting and drawing for the past 18 years and conducted regular watercolour painting classes here on the Gold Coast. Along with my love of teaching art, I enjoy developing my own art practice and exploring new ways of using watercolour mediums and mixed media. I hold a Bachelor Degree in Fine Art and an Advanced Certificate in Art and Design and I am passionate about helping others to discover the joys of creating art.

My paintings here are original one off pieces created onsite or in my studio from my own reference photographs and sketches. Only highest Artist Quality materials have been used. The subject matter varies and is of secondary importance as I am most interested in capturing the play of light and shadow and finding dynamic compositions. I hope you enjoy viewing these works.
