Artist Statement
My childhood memories are brimming with weekends and holidays spent on our boat, engaging in waterskiing adventures, and exploring the lush bushland along the riverbanks. Those yearly trips to Moreton Island, with its serene crystal-clear waters, sandy beaches, and abundant sea life, left an indelible mark on my heart. Water has always been my source of solace and comfort. Now, residing on the Central Coast surrounded by breathtaking waterways and national parks, I feel like I'm on a perpetual holiday.
​
Working from my home studio, I pour my creativity into crafting pieces that reflect the beauty of our Australian Coastline. My artistic style spans a range of techniques, from capturing realistic details to conveying impressions that evoke emotions. I embrace the freedom of exploring various tools and mediums, allowing me to create the desired effect while staying true to my artistic vision.
​
There is something liberating about not confining myself to one specific style or medium. Instead, I concentrate on immortalizing the essence of the coast—the play of light on the water's surface, the vibrant hues of the coastal flora, and the tranquility that permeates the landscapes. Each brushstroke, each stroke of the pen, is an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in the awe-inspiring beauty of the natural world. I hope that my creations leave a lasting impression, sparking a deep appreciation for the coastal wonders that surround us.
​
In my art, I strive to transport others to the tranquil shores of the Australian coastline, to share the profound sense of peace and connection that I experience. It is a testament to my deep reverence for nature and a desire to convey its wonders through my work. I hope that through my artistic expressions, I can awaken a sense of serenity and a renewed appreciation for the breathtaking marvels that exist in our coastal landscapes.
