Artwork Description

The wonderful old industrial buildings of Sydney's Eveleigh Rail Yards remain thanks to ongoing heritage restoration. This end of the beautiful former paint shop building sits between the Carriageworks exhibition space and the site's carpark. I walked past it each day while exhibiting at the Affordable Art Fair and been wanting to paint this scene for a while.

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.

I’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.
