“A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.”
― Salvador Dali
For me, no truer words could be spoken. I love art that inspires me to create and likewise, I love creating art that inspires and evokes emotion in others.
My journey through art has been a winding path - everytime I hear about some new art or craft I am keen to jump right in and try it out, but I always come back to more traditional mediums. While I like to dabble in all creative areas, my focus is mostly on oil paintings. My art is often a reflection of my own mind and inner struggles, or a representation of how I see and experience the world or particular events, often using surrealist, expressionist or fantasy themes to convey these ideas.
Being based on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, I have the privilege of living close to the ocean and the mountains. I love drawing inspiration from these beautiful places, which often influence the colours and form within my works.
