Hi - Thanks for checking out my art.

I create acrylic and mixed media abstracts, semi-abstracts, and contemporary paintings based on observation of the world around me. My works are bold and expressive. I predominately base my work on the present landscape and landscapes observed while travelling. I sometimes paint loosely from reference photos or memory. Other times I let the the paint and marks on the canvas guide me. My works explore colour relationships, impasto texture, movement, shapes and layers. I see the world and I paint it. 

Take a look, take a 2nd look and take a longer look at my artwork. I love putting my artwork out there.

I have been painting consistently with my local art group since around 2008 under the guidance of many tutors. I also attend multiple weekly tutored classes and full day workshops where I continuously learn and think of new ideas. In 2019 I completed my Certificate III in Visual Arts at Box Hill Institute.

Exhibits regularly at art shows including 'Life Abstracted' at Cambridge Studio Gallery, Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show, Camberwell Art Show, Whitehorse Art Show, Linden Postcard Show, Brunswick Street Gallery Small Works, Box Hill Art Group, Hawthorn Artists Society, Contemporary Arts Society of Victoria, A4 Australia, and Art Space at City of Whitehorse.
