Ridge top bushland

This painting is a my response to many hours spent walking through wild places along the river and the ridges and forms part of an ongoing exploration through the act of painting to express the presence and being of the bush.

Creating my artwork is my way of honouring the natural places that helped me learn and grow and that have inspired a lifetime dedicated to the natural environment. This work begins in the bush, with these things: to look, to enjoy, to touch, smell and hear life around me, where I know it best, in the place where I grew up, on Sydney sandstone country, on unceded Garigal/Kuringai land.

I hold a Master of Art from UNSW Art & Design, and my work is informed by a background in biology.
