Artwork Description
Artist Bio
I focus on acrylic paintings generally with a marine aspect to them. I love painting turtles and waves. Growing up surrounded by the beauty of Moreton Bay I fell in love with the water. Everything about it calms me and reminds me of happy memories, so when I started painting of course I wanted to paint it. And then I realised how involved it was, and how I was seeing the world in such a limited way - the sky was blue, the water was blue, and leaves were green. Thanks to a great mentor Mark Waller (from Explore Acrylics), I now see the reflections, refractions, the water colour that changes, the yellow and red in leaves and the elusive purple shadows. As I learn to see all these nuances my art improves, but Iβm sure my learning will be never ending. I hope you start to see all those colours in my paintings, or in everyday life and get the same joy as I do when that coloured glue eventually starts to evoke a memory.
I am available for specific commissions including any with a focus on: marine paintings, seascapes, beach scenes, pandanus, whales, dolphins, turtles, manta rays, eagle rays, stingrays, whalesharks. And now I am branching into portraits.
