Intoxication

Rarely would I connect with a fragrance so strongly that I would describe it as hauntingly beautiful. However for me, the perfume "Si” is just this. A certain fragrance, like a song, can be intoxicating. Being the sense most closely linked to memory our sense of smell can be highly emotive and evocative. It can influence mood and emotion as well as playing a vital role in our psychological makeup.
My experience of this perfume was the influence for the painting - its references to colour, a sense of calm, its abstract floral theme.

I interpret the images of my environment and my emotions through abstract painting, drawing and sculpture.

Nature is my constant inspiration, providing an endless source of fascination and of strange and wonderful imagery.

Ocean tides, the movement and force of the sea and its oceanic forms and textures;
The texture and shape of rock formations – monumental and timeless, storytellers of past geological events;
The diversity and richness of the Australian landscape;
The dramatic effects of cloud formations and sunsets and the infinite beauty of flora with its limitless forms, colors and textures.

I believe such imagery, so passionately observed and deeply embedded in the unconscious mind informs the way in which it is expressed through art.

I enjoy exploring different techniques and mediums aiming to bring freshness and spontaneity to my art.
