Raging Bull

This painting is a reflection of many moments from my childhood growing up in a rural setting working with cattle, where I often found myself staring down charging one tonne beasts on a daily basis.

While being both scary and thrilling at the same time, these encounters taught me valuable lessons which can be applied to everyday life: Look adversity in the eye, stand your ground and make sure your voice is heard!!!

I am a Sydney based painter, designer and art director. I work with the medium of acrylic on canvas, board and wood. My subject matter generally focuses on Australian landscape, where I often explore the interaction between natural environments with man-made constructions. I utilise detailed brush work, dramatic lighting and vibrant colour palettes to accentuate the appearance of nature and the lasting impression these environments have had on me. I have a deep admiration for 19th-century landscape paintings by artists such as John Glover, Eugene Von Guérard and Tom Roberts. Their picturesque style, composition, and techniques are a great source of inspiration.
