Artist Biography

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to learn a little about my artistic journey.

My love of art began with my mother, who taught me the basics and inspired my interest in painting. Over the years, I have continued to develop my skills through lessons with various professional artists and workshops, exploring a range of mediums including pastels, scratchboard and watercolour. However, oils remain my preferred medium.

My artwork is a journey through a variety of subjects, from expressive portraits and the powerful presence of trains to serene landscapes and captivating seascapes. The Australian landscape, with its breathtaking beauty, has always held a special place in my heart. I enjoy exploring a multitude of themes and subjects, each with its own unique story to tell.

However, it is in the world of wildlife art, particularly Australian birdlife, that I find my greatest passion. I love the challenge of capturing the character, colour and untamed beauty of our natural world, bringing these wonderful creatures to life on canvas.

I primarily paint in oils, although I also enjoy painting birds in watercolour.
