Add Nature and Colour to your Life.
My art captures the power, beauty, and fragility of the landscape in the light, movement, gravity, forms, and waves created by the physics of nature.
I hope you get the same awe at our wondrous world as I do in exploring nature's palette in making this art.

Studio Stories
“It started with an idea about…”
Every artwork is created from an idea, shaped by exploration, unpredictable processes, happy accidents and mistakes.
This journey of creativity is so absorbing I rarely recall what I do, so I video and write the story of the process.
You might enjoy these timelapse videos that show the process in under 2.5 minutes.
Here is one on the Barrier Reef Series.
Barrier Reef #1
Barrier Reef#1 is part of a series of large paintings that are inspired by aerial views of the Barrier Reef.
This painting focuses on the patterns created by currents and winds flowing over shallow reef corals and rocky outcrops merging with the various shades of blue at different depths.
Observing in detail the changes in the landscape around me often guides me in my approach to a painting.
Watching the tides affect the movement of the water on the sand at a beach in Anglesea in Victoria on a wintery day gave me the idea to mimic this process with fluid paint by creating a shoreline first and then guiding the water across it.
