About

My paintings are primarily about the unique flora and fauna of our Shellharbour environment with a special interest in the natural specimens that are native to our area. I use both watercolour technique and oil painting in my work.

I am fascinated by my natural environment and by the fragility of nature, especially the land/ocean, coastal areas and their unique plants, animals and marine environments. I am inspired by actual objects found in my environment and by the landscape, looking at both the micro and the macro view of my home. In my interdisciplinary creative expression I enjoy creating soundscapes and jazz improv that also reflects this same vision. In this way my inspiration is expressed through visual arts and music simultaneously. I enjoy painting commissions, especially in watercolour and joining in with music groups.
