- I come from the
small town of Beechworth, nestled in the hills of
North Eastern Victoria. My love for art and landscape
painting evolved in Beechworth as a child, drawing
inspiration from the beautiful surrounds. This passion
developed further through childhood family holidays,
then through my travels within Australia and overseas.
I use photography and drawings as a foundation to
paint my experiences, creating art through the colors,
shapes and forms in the landscape. I also enjoy
painting nudes and figures. I draw the model from
life, then transform into paint at my studio. Over the
years I have worked with many mediums including oils,
watercolors, acrylics, pastels, pencil, clay, wood and
photography, but more recently I have been
concentrating on acrylics painted on canvas and on
paper. My work is sometimes quite abstract or an
"impression" of the subject matter. My main painting
influences are Fred Williams and Jackson Pollock. I am
also very passionate about the work of Paul Gauguin
and Amedeo Modigliani. I do commissioned artworks upon
request. I work from life, mental images and from
photographs.
