Hi and welcome!
I am a self-taught artist based in Brisbane, Australia. I grew up riding horses, immersed in farming life on rural properties in South Australia and later in South-West Queensland. This created a strong connection to the country and nature. I am constantly inspired by the colours of different landscapes when I travel.
Painting for me is a purely instinctive process that is constantly evolving. It has been a long journey in learning to let go of controlling the creative process. I love the freedom of not having a plan and just letting the artwork create its own path. I have been drawn to the fluidity and flow of line work for a number of years and the process itself is very meditative. Each artwork has its own story or meaning that unravels as the painting evolves.
I work primarily in acrylic on canvas.
