Come on, Crack a Laugh!

Two kookaburras perched on the branches of a gum tree. Careful attention to detail - their distinctive markings, soft plumage and alert expressions beautifully rendered. The gum leaves, in varying shades of green, gold and rust create the backdrop. There is bright blue sky providing contrast to the warm shades of the leaves. This painting balances realism with artistic expression.

Originally, a painter of porcelain, followed by watercolours, I now paint predominantly in acrylic and oils.

A self-taught acrylic style contemporary artist, interested mostly in modern style, colourful portraits, seascapes, and contemporary Australian birds amongst the gums. I am situated on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland in the beautiful Maroochydore.

I HAVE to paint daily! Portraits which sing of the personality of the subject as well as random faces that yearn to be portrayed on canvas, or watercolour paper, or wooden cradle boards.....ANYTHING!

And I am driven also to paint our beautiful sea waves, bringing out the wonderful array of blues and greens and aquas that the sunshine state in Australia is so famous for.
