“Enigmatic, joyful and reflective, my paintings create a space where the immediacy of the visual impact converges with narrative depth that evolves with the discovery of new layers over time. They create an intricate dance between the vibrancy of movement and the richness of colour expressed through the interplay of brushstrokes, shapes and a sense of balance. The abstract, acrylic canvases are multilayered and immersive inviting the viewer to explore their own journeys and stories within each work. Hailing from Tasmania, Australia I draw inspiration from the dynamic power of nature and the magic and mystery that permeates the landscape. My current home in Singapore exudes the hues of bright colours, intense storms, vivid sunsets and tropical rain seen through veils of mist and humidity. Incorporating a visual lexicon of circles, lines, and trails reminiscent of natural forms, these symbolic motifs, accentuated by shimmering metallic highlights, imbue my work with layers of meaning and interpretation. The paintings serve as windows into both the external world and the human experience.”
