Hi, I'm an acrylic artist based in northern rivers of NSW, Australia. I love to compose vibrant and bold complementary schemes that invite the viewer to connect with their own memories and emotions.
I have most recently been exploring different themes including fleeting moments, absence and human connections, sometimes incorporates symbols like empty plates, flowers or objects that create nostalgic recollections, remembering the warmth and joy of people who may have been present. My paintings often depict how food and drink forms such an integral part in our lives and can be a source of comfort, celebration, abundance, sustenance and most of all sharing our lives with others we care about. I also like to create cityscapes and streetscapes which depict the movement and liveliness and the interactions people have or the places in which they live. Also an appreciation of nostalgic cottages and houses and the memories they evoke are a special interest.
I enjoy the simple pleasures of life, appreciating the beauty of all that surrounds me, walking on the beach and nature, savouring coffee, good food, drinks and catching up with cherished company. This love of life and connection is reflected in many of my works.
