I am a practicing artist living just outside of Melbourne, in the state of Victoria. I draw inspiration from the colors I see in nature and how the human form moves through the landscape. I paint aerial scenes combined with traditional views of the land.
I work with oil, watercolor, pencil, alcohol inks, and foil. More recently, I have discovered encaustic painting. I am enthralled by the effects produced by encaustic mediums, which add a whole new dimension to my ideas.
My work has developed in a strong direction towards portraying the landscape of Australia. There are so many ways of feeling part of the land using the elements of color, shape, light, and form to create an image that has the ability to draw one's gaze into the canvas and see.
