“Painting is my Passion! My paintings are a celebration of this wonderful earth. The emotional feelings I get from the subject matter are of prime importance to my finished work, creating the nuance, which results in a dynamic and shifting diversity. I usually work in a series, and my paintings are sometimes realistic, contemporary or abstract and often the interpretation of the subject matter can be left to the viewer.”
“I grew up in Sydney Australia, and now live on the North Coast of NSW, in an idyllic location between mountains and the sea. My adventurous spirit almost satisfied by extensive travel. I have journeyed throughout Europe, Egypt, USA, UK, and Japan, backpacked through Mexico and travelled throughout Australia including treks in the Simpson Desert by camel and on foot.”
