I work with mixed media & collage on paper, acrylic & oil paint.
My art explores a contemporary interpretation of the landscape, focusing on the abstract, the emotive and the design elements.
I have lived and worked on the Mid North Coast for 20 years and continue my art practice through exploring my relationship with environments as well as interiors, every day subjects and the figure within the landscape.
I am interested in environmental elements and relating them to our human senses and our memory of being within environment.
