Pelican Dreaming Ed. 1 of 1

I am an Australian artist based in the Northern Territory. My work is influenced by close observation of my surroundings, particularly the Australian landscape and native wildlife. I’m drawn to moments of quiet presence in the natural world and aim to capture a sense of place rather than spectacle.
I primarily work in acrylic on canvas, using the medium for its colour depth and versatility. My practice is grounded in realism, with a focus on fine detail, texture, and light.
I have previously exhibited work with the Territory Wildlife Park in Darwin.
