PALM TREES OF QUEENSlaND
This collection is about my tropical home. What I see every single day, outside my door. I’ve extended my abstract style towards a representational expression of these majestic and wild giants.
LITTLE STORIES EVERYWHERE
This collection has taken me toward representational imagery. Always starting intuitively, with no preconceived idea, these 18 paintings pushed my abstract edges and eventually revealed themselves as a story to tell.
This collection further explores a process I’ve developed that evokes a sense of aged vintage, depth and character to the surface.
UNTETHERED
These five large pieces allowed me to express musings about life, relational attachments and detachment itself.
A slice of life. A collection I hope to explore and expand on. These pieces are deep with texture & layers derived from mixed media.

ADAPTATION
These wistful and juicy pieces were born from much variance in direction. I struggled initially with too much complexity of composition, trying to replicate something I’d achieved before.
Submitting eventually to the fundamental, enjoyable flow of paint and brush. Then, I extended the process to oil paint, for more depth and balance to it’s ethereal quality.
LET IT FLOW was my lesson in painting this collection which inspired a 3mtr commission for a client who loved them too.
RETROSPECTIVE PROCESS
I’ve had a varied working life. Hospitality, movie set-painter and small business owner. A beautiful family life along the way, eventually coming to a place of wanting to paint again. My self-taught abstract process is born from a sound knowledge of paint & design while holding intuition & spontaneity in high regard in trusting the process to find my way.
