Heart of Calm

Multi-layers of acrylic paint using techniques of brushing, mark-making, stamping, spraying, hand and finger marking to build up to an exciting under-painting. Much of this is covered up in the final application of oil paints. Some areas of interest are left to be discovered by the viewer in either abstract shapes or more recognisable images of nature. Colour and nature feature a lot in my works.

A spark ignited by a pen and wash class 20 years ago has blossomed into art, in it’s many forms, being an integral part of my life.
Whilst having no formal art education, my semester courses with the Brisbane Institute of Art for over 14 years has enriched my understanding of art in it’s many forms. From history, photography, creative application, website design.
Using many different mediums - watercolour, oil, acrylic, ink, pencil, charcoal, pastel, mosaics.
Many styles have been explored -still life, life drawing, print making, abstract, collage, mixed media, sculpture.
Over the past few years my art has focussed on creative, spiritually inspired painting which incorporates my love of yoga, nature and serenity. They way I like to live my life.
