‘Exuberance Knows No Boundaries’ speaks of excitement and fun – where finding and immersing yourself in the joy is more important than being constrained by the boundaries.

Exuberance Knows No Boundaries

Finding yourself surrounded and sometimes overwhelmed by life, this piece speaks to me of all the different facets that combine to mould you to be the person that you have become.

Mosaic of Life

This piece is directly influence by my environment. I live in a small 'city' on the coast. There is the main beach 'Kings Beach' separated from 'Happy Valley' by a purpose built groin. This beach reflects the beautiful surroundings that I have on my doorstep.

Kings Beach Happy Valley and Caloundra CBD

This piece was generated out of trying to leave the 'busy' of every day life behind.  There are always interruptions and things lingering in the background that require attention, but despite these we need to find the time to 'find some calm' and let some things just recede for a little while.

Finding the Calm

A beautifully strong piece with soft edges. This painting reflects the memories that might be locked inside - tucked far away - almost forgotten, but triggered by something that brings them back to you.

Oasis Haze

Kondalilla Falls is an area near where I live. There are walking tracks and beautiful moments on the way to the falls. This painting is a reflection of the journey, and some of the unexpected colours that are sometimes part of the route.

Journey to Kondalilla

As Spring starts to warm the new growth starts to bloom. A homage to a stem housing a yet to burst forth gorgeous bloom.

New Growth

Within the depths of rains, the colours and reflections can still be beautiful.

Moody Blues

The Passage is reference to a local environment between our coast and a very near island. Shallow waters, the deeper channel, and the beautiful colours and reflections that abound.

The Passage

A strong, yet gentle work. The path is not always straight - or narrow, but there's lots of diversions waiting to hijack you if you don't stay on the path.

Staying on the Straight and Narrow

Garden Party was borne from watching the Spring Garden Blooms appear, and the joy that it brought not only to me, but to all that inhabit the garden.

 Moved by the farmers struggling with drought in our harsh interiors, only to then be inundated by flooding, and then back to drought. This piece is a homage to their struggles to be viable with all these elements against them, and how they manage to hang on to the hope of better outcomes in the not too distant future.

Dried up Dams and Tractor Tracks with a Dash of Hope

A work inspired by recent large storms (tornado) in the hinterland regions near where I am located. Lots of destruction and damage to property and bushland. Even with all this destruction, there is still beauty. It is hard to see with all the heartache and upheaval, but it is still present.

A Dance of Saturation, Destruction and Beauty

This work was informed by the amount of summer rain that has been prevalent this year in my local area. Australia experiences major climate swings, often with one area in severe drought whilst another is in flood. This piece is representative of a garden that has struggled with the lack of water, but is now blossoming with recent downpours.

Sunny, With a Chance of Showers

A lovely pale little piece that reminds me of walking through an overgrown field looking for the little flowers that hide under the mass of stalks, leaves and taller plants. These are often tiny - but so beautiful. They are always a joy to behold.

Searching for Daisies

This painting is bold and expressive - and speaks to me of a confident orchestra immersing me in the sound of joy.

Rhapsody In Red

A small work that speaks to me of the quiet beauty found in the Australian Outback at night. I can picture sitting and appreciating the history of our First Nations Peoples and all their storylines and legends waiting to be learned.

The Quiet of an Outback Evening

This work is reflective of a dense bushland - stoic and unyielding. Present in it's permanence. I'm tapping in to the wisdom that this bushland may wish to offer up to us - if only we would listen.

The Journey to Beyond

CONFIDENT - BOLD - CAPTIVATING.     As an intuitive abstract artist. I respond to how the work makes me feel and what I see in front of me. My work evolves as I explore, express and experiment, giving life to the paint on my canvas, board or paper. As my works morph and change they take on a life of their own - a history full of beauty and ugly. It is this history that I work with, using my intuition and skill as the artist to guide the painting to its completion. This is what gives the painting 'soul' for me. Without everything that has gone before, the work wouldn't be what it is, and to honour that is something very special.  Every work is its own.  Some works just fall into place, and others have a convoluted journey to completion.  I don't even know - when I start a painting - what colour the finished outcome might be.  Such is the dance of the creating, which is what keeps me doing - and loving - what I do.
