Experiences become ideas, sketches become colours, shapes become paint then my art is revealed!
I love creating work in a variety of mediums, and experimenting at creating different aesthetics story telling from experiences.
Fragments thoughts and feelings small windows from my surroundings and translating all this into a colour pallet the way I see it.
" Memories and my life created in colour light & texture, the paints tints allowing me to tell a story"
I have been painting and drawing for most of my life getting more serious in my late teens so has been a passion of mine for about 35 years.
My Oil paintings are delivered framed in natural Tasmanian Oak with a custom shadow line / Or if you would like to do your own custom frame I can mail out unframed also. I mainly work on primed ply panel but also on various elements like Venetian Plaster over board that is also created by hand ( myself ) allowing
for different visuals & textured backgrounds.
Stretched canvas is also available and I will usually use these on larger paintings to keep the weight down.
I am based in Wurtulla on the Sunshine Coast
QLD Australia.
I like to dwell on an idea / concept for a while and then re create and problem solve it with my paints or Ink then create it in my own unique style.
I am inspired by Impressionism , I have mainly been self taught with a passion for colour and contrasting imagery with heavy & visibly strong brush strokes the viewer can feel the light & movement in each piece created.
I love dappled light and enjoying the different angles brushstrokes create.
I have a strong connection to my surroundings & local beach scape and passion for the wildlife and flora people / family around me,
You may see a lot of influence in my work with these surroundings as my favourite pastime is being constantly outdoors either in the ocean surfing or fishing & camping.
Mediums I love to use are various and I love to experiment with Oils / Acrylic / Lime & Marble + Tints.
Feel free to drop me a message I am more than happy to have a chat!
Thank you for viewing
Kindest Regards Nick
