harmony

Through the use of complementary colour this piece comes together harmoniously. Providing the viewer with a relaxed interwinding of shapes and textures. The inks combine together to throw out areas of green. The composition helps the viewer to explore the different areas of the work from top to bottom and around again.

Growing up in Melbourne with a passion for art and design, an array of disciplines and approaches has shaped my art.

I studied Visual Art at RMIT for a year, focusing on traditional art mediums, where I learnt many ways to use oil paints, watercolours, inks and pastels to communicate senses of place, ideas and emotions. I then moved into Graphic Arts at Swinburne University and Multimedia Design as technology was taking off in the 90s. I used what I had learnt at uni to work in print and website design, producing visualisations of clients' companies, campaigns and communications.

Today I focus on my first passion, returning to traditional oils, alcohol inks, and pastels. I love to focus on natural elements, using patterns, shapes and everyday life as inspiration. I also am continuing my journey in digital media, producing pattern designs for fabrics and hand-drawn digital pet portraits of peoples' best friends.
