Artwork Description

Inspired by loose, impressionistic watercolours of classic Australian coastal landscapes.

Expressive bushwork: The foliage in the foreground and trees on the far ridge are built using short, dappled dabs of color rather than precise details. This suggests texture and movement rather than defining individual leaves.

Loose Washes: The ocean utilizes sweeping, transparent washes of cerulean blue, turquoise, and pale green, allowing the texture of the paper to show through to mimic sunlight reflecting on the water.

Wet-on-Wet Textures: Soft, blending edges along the shoreline and sandbanks show a wet-on-wet technique where wet paint is applied over a damp surface to create natural gradients.

Atmospheric Light: The bright whites of the unpainted paper serve as highlights on the beach and the breaking waves, capturing the intense glare of a sunny coastal day.

Artist Bio

I am a keen and enthusiastic observer of nature. I paint in acrylics, watercolour but also explore digital art. My passion is the wild places where nature excels. I delight in highlighting the beautiful and striking coastal, mountain and forest scenes - to make them accessible to all. I will continue to donate art to charities - the joy and benefits of art should be shared.

My art is influenced by a background of decades as a marine biologist and naturalist. I feel a strong emotional connection to my subjects. Through my art, I strive to introduce the beauty of Australia's scenic wonders to everyone. If possible, I want to transport you to wonderful places, real and imaginary.

My favourite subjects include Australia’s natural treasures including the Bay of Fires, the Twelve Apostles and Cradle Mountain National park. From the glorious red rocks to the misty forests – I have a need to paint it all – so you can see it, feel it, and it can become part of your home and your life. Can I paint something that you would enjoy? Let me provide you with an image that will transport you to the wonderful wild places.
