Celestial Rain

Celestial Rain acrylic on hexagonal canvas is a majestic sized artwork. The layers of fluid paint saturate the canvas recalling the cleansing and ethereal qualities of rain that quenches the earth after a long summer. The sublime qualities and grandeur of this artwork will calm and transport the viewer. The harmonious cool colours of ice blues, turquoise, and sage green are with accents of carbon black and titanium white are complemented with subtle hints of cool yellow, lilac and pink in this sublime artwork.

Based in Hunter Valley Wine Country, the Australian Landscape is a reoccurring theme of my artworks. After studying at the University of Newcastle and Charles Sturt, I developed my sculptural and jewellery manufacturing skills before teaching Visual Arts in the Upper and Lower Hunter regions of NSW. The beauty and unique qualities of the Australian Landscape became apparent while I was travelling throughout the United States and Canada. The expansive coastlines and natural lakes that define the environment along side hidden valleys and majestic mountainous ranges are a constant source of inspiration. Ancient gemstones and my jewellery making practice are strongly referenced in the abstract compositions. An obsession with colour and textural qualities are explored through my delicate chalk pastel works, the bold expressive alcohol ink series and my fluid acrylic and mixed media collections.
