Thanks for taking the time to check out my work :)
I am a self-taught Brisbane-born artist and have been painting since I was very young. I manage an architectural visualisation company whilst producing my own original artworks from my home studio. Having experimented with a wide range of media, I have found pastels and oils to be my preferred mediums.
I primarily make realist paintings and drawings that document the beauty and contrasts of the natural environment. I am also interested in the depiction of water and the ability of a still image to capture the ephemeral play of light and shadow on its surface.
I am particularly interested in creating works that play with depth and perspective. As an artist concerned with accurate representation, I always work to create highly detailed images, but at the same time I attempt to distort the rules of conventional composition by playing with unusual angles and altered imagery. I like to disorient the viewer's perception of reality. At times the results can reflect a surreal influence - these works use vivid colour and fantastical imagery to play with the conventions of landscape painting and provide a new take on a traditional genre.
