Turon River Bend

The fast flowing Turon River near Hill End NSW was a stop over and inspiration for a dramatic capture of the power of nature and in particular the very full river after days of rain. The rocky outcrop on the opposite bank was particularly lovely and I was mesmerised by the white overhanging tree and its delicate lines. I have used watercolour as my base colours and artist quality markers to express the textures and patterns.

Based in Sydney, Australia, I live in the creative and multicultural precinct of Sydney’s Inner West.
Born in Newcastle NSW I have been influenced by many years at the beach or in the bush, walking and observing our natural paradise.
I am a self taught artist since childhood but trained as a high school art teacher so practiced art for most of my life through either work or privately.
My creative and original artworks are defined by organic and linear shapes that merge and silhouette. They are usually devoid of figurative form and can verge into an imaginative landscape. The approach is layered and combines a variety of mediums drawn or painted over each other to construct the desired essence of my landscape. It is a landscape strongly influenced by an intuitive design sense.
My paintings have found homes in Newcastle, Brisbane , Port Pirie and Sydney.
