Artwork Description

The art of Italian painter Georgio de Chirico has stayed with me since I first discovered his works as a teenager. This interpretion of a corner of the National Art School in Sydney is a nod to the artist and the journey of the students who have followed.

Artist Bio

I paint streets, landscapes, portraits and other things that capture me.

My artist journey began with an early passion for painting before following a career in television and film where I've created soundtracks for many of Australia's best known television shows and award winning productions. In recent years I've returned to my original love of painting.

Iโ€™m drawn to the often overlooked moments of emptiness or disquiet within urban environments and aim to evoke some response or humour through much of my work. I also like to explore at the imbalance, or sometimes tension, between the constructed and natural worlds.
