My earliest childhood memories are painting with sticks and leaves in the back yard and my early years were full of creativity. This love of painting and creating would eventually lead me to study at the Qld College of Art, where I majored in Printmaking. After obtaining my Bachelor of Fine Art, I found work as a Commercial Artist & Graphic Designer - a job I still do today, which has refined my skills of design, composition and colour.

As a landscape painter my paintings aim to reaffirm a sense of place for the viewer. My current work deals with not only my different perspectives on what defines beauty and power within the Australian landscape, but also speaks of our place within that landscape.

Through investigating nature, I am compelled to understand myself and reflect on my role and purpose of being and through this awareness I can concentrate on the emotional expression that nature suggests and this gives me the freedom to experiment with design, form and colour.

My role as an artist is to experience places and communicate those experiences to the viewer and within my work it is not the descriptive detail of the landscape that is important, rather the emotional experience where I interpret landscape through an exploration of spatial relationships. Abstract forms, lines and marks suggest reoccurring ideas of obstacles & barriers and my work contains an obsession with particular elements of the landscape, such as Rock faces, cliffs and boulders that capture the spirit of a place.
