Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast Queensland
My work connects to the beauty and simplicity of the quintessential Australian landscape informed by my early years in the Dubbo area of New South Wales. Now living and working in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, my paintings center on various contemporary mark-making techniques; using brushwork, palette knife, rough charcoal, acrylic, and ink lines, to suggest landscape movements, patterns, changing light and shadows. In addition to my art centering on contemporary expression in landscapes, my mark-making has further morphed into surrealist seascapes, experimenting with chalk, pastels. It has also included interpreting my ideas onto paper, lino prints and through clay work with ceramic tiles.
Trained and working in Graphic Facilitation and Community Development, I have also completed research on Visual Narration through Griffith University and hold training qualifications.
