Easel of Life

This painting combines the serenity of the background with the rich depth of a dark purple table, flecked with bursts of colour. The table holds three vases, each uniquely shaped containing blooms in bright red and pink with glowing yellow centres. My mark making details add energy and texture while the easel at the tables edge, adored with a vintage sticker, offers a whimsical nod of creativity. Together these elements evoke a celebration of artistry, life and natures beauty.

Originally from Rotorua NZ and now based in the Illawarra South Coast of NSW. I am a multidisciplined artist with a focus on bright, bold colours and expressive mark making. I like to tell a story through my practice, capturing the joy of being human. With a focus on abstraction, I like to build up layers of colours and texture then stand back to let intuitive eyes take over, "what I see in the paint at that point can become the focus., if it's a female, a couple or a family at the beach I then bring these figures out to the surface".
I want to evoke an emotion through the colours i use and the visual stories.
Art is my therapy, live with Multiple sclerosis it distracts from the pain i live with and gets me out and about into the community.
