My style can be simply described as Tonal Realism, what I see is what is reflected on the canvas. My skill is to be able to capture a unique and beautiful moment in time and convey this with emotion to the viewer with Oil on canvas.
Most of the inspiration for my paintings come from times spent at Carrackalinga, a small rural town nestled on the coast amongst the vineyards and grazing country that forms part of the Fleurieu Peninsula. Water plays a huge part in my paintings which hold memories of past & present experiences in the way children play or has a soothing healing affect for the viewer.
With an Associate Degree of Visual Art graduation from Adelaide Central School of Art. I have been working as a full time Artist, Tutor , Mentor for year 12 students and hosting “Intro to oil painting” for year 10’s at Immanuel College. I have exhibited in several exhibitions with Greenhill Galleries, Without Pier Gallery in Melbourne. I’ve been a finalist in the Fleurieu Water Prize and the Cibo Galleria competition. My portrait of DJ Driller was selected winner for the Loreto springART show Star Portrait event 2012 & Peoples Choice winner for 2013 for my Reflections6 painting. I was the overall Adelaide winner for the Clifton art prize with my Reflections7 painting.
