‘There is always abstraction in my paintings regardless of the subject. Before I start any painting I am considering the environment or room setting in which it is to be placed. Do I want this painting to be bold & dominate the space or does it need to be more subdued and restful? My painting style can vary from a whimsical tonal style which is depicted in my ‘Botanical Series’, to then contrast my ‘Contemporary Abstract Series’ which are more colourful & textured to create a piece to suit a more contemporary setting.

‘My paintings mostly reflect the Australian landscape – but with a contemporary translation. Natural elements such as rocks, tree’s, the ocean and mountain scenes are all my preferred subjects. I like to add multiple layers and keep building the painting up slowly until I have something that is substantial & complex.
