Artist Statement

“I am fascinated by the way the light transitions across the Australian landscape transforming it as it goes. My large scale acrylic canvasses strive to capture this effect using textured layering, metallic paint, minerals and multiple glazes to produce work that like the landscape also transitions as the light in the room changes.”

“My animal series is a joyous and humorous reflection on those WTF moments in life. Littered with popular culture references, my works deliver social commentary with a smile.”
