Journeys

Starting in 2019, this series is inspired by photos personally taken of different locations that showcase a marraige of man-made pathways contrasting with natural elements.

Australian Birds

This series came about through an interest to capture the complexities of bird feathers. I enjoyed the challenge of encapsulating the interesting layers, light and textures of each bird. Australian birds have their own destinctive characters, which I appreciate and tried to replicate.

Sydney Victoria Park

This series developed during the peek of COVID-19 reaching Sydney. The paintings are representations of the envelopment of Spring continuing to take over the man-made park. This park is encircled by buzzing traffic and city structures. Watching a dragonfly, appreciating greenery, offers stillness and reverie. Nature blissfully carries on.

About the artist

Raised in a small country village outside of Camden, NSW, I grew up appreciating Australian scenery. I always loved waking to the variety of birdsongs outside my window each morning, to appreciating a far off and hazy Sydney spec resting beyond rolling hills and valleys. I love the earthiness of the Australian landscape, and it’s animals, even now, living in the busyness of inner Sydney city.

I have history in the town I was born, with many generations living and loving the sometimes lush, and sometimes dry, rural landscape. Including the now flooded Burragorang Valley where my grandfather lived as a child and where we’ve since shared special family moments appreciating the view of the catchment that sustains Sydney.

I appreciate the accessibility, and societal freedoms of city living, but I will always find solace and grounding in trees and bugs. Perhaps all of this is why I am so drawn to exploring Australian themes in my work.
Every moment painted was a moment still, inspired, tranquil and humble. I love these moments.
