Artist Profile

Art for me is a way of expressing personality and releasing creative energy using masses of intense colour and texture. What can become of a blank canvas is what fuels my passion for Art. My inspiration comes from the beauty and richness of things we often take for granted and watching a piece of Art come to life before my eyes is an exciting experience.

I would classify my collection as modern contemporary in style, although I am constantly drawn to experimentation with other genres. Each piece of work will be perceived differently by every viewer and that is truly, the beauty of Art.

My pieces are often spontaneously composed from a fleeting thought that later develops into an extreme visual, making its way onto the canvas. The techniques I use involve applying paint with brushes, sponges, painting knives, sticks and kitchen cutlery, allowing me to keep each and every piece unique.

As the painting develops, a name will begin to evolve which ultimately becomes the conclusive title for that piece of work. I have lived in Adelaide South Australia all of my life and have been painting for several years. With a love of Art that stemmed from early education, I continued to dabble in design and colour as a hobby, until I decided to promote and sell my work as a practicing artist.

Adelaide has proven to be a wonderful window of exposure to the world of Art lovers

within our city and I have been lucky enough to also experience the art scene within other major cities.

I am extremely fortunate to have been involved with various local and interstate festivals and exhibitions over the last few years and I continue to appreciate the opportunities provided to Australian Artists.
