Hello, and thank you for taking the time to visit my page!
I am a self-taught artist based in Perth, Western Australia. My work is rooted in Impressionism, with a strong focus on landscapes, while also allowing space for experimentation with abstract and minimalist figurative forms.
I have been painting since childhood, and over time my style has evolved into a blend of classic Impressionist techniques and modern vibrancy. While largely self-taught, I have taken classes and workshops with various artists over the years and continue to study and learn through ongoing instruction. I primarily work with oil on canvas and wood panels, using varied underpainting methods and thick, textured brushstrokes to capture the shifting moods of nature.
I draw inspiration from the diverse landscapes of Western Australia — from bright, open beaches to the deep blues of the Indian Ocean. Alongside landscape painting, I also explore abstract minimalist and figurative art as a way to celebrate Australian nature beyond literal representation.
My aim is not only to express what I see, but what I feel — translating light, movement, and emotion into color and texture.
