Artistic Inspiration.
Spending my childhood growing up in a remote town exploring river banks and observing the ebb and flow of the changing seasons, my works are influenced by ecosystems and the shifting changes in light, landscapes and the life within them.
My process sees me spending a lot of time observing and photographing the world around me, then painting intuitively, quickly and with little prior planning. In this way I aim to capture the mood or feeling of the piece, using vivid and earthy colour pallets, visible brush stokes, mark making textures and abstraction.
My subject matter is drawn from nature, but is also a snippet into an introspective world, a linking of my intuition and nostalgic feelings and emotions reminiscent of time spent soaking inall the wonder that nature has to offer in the landscape. I want my work to bring forth the juxtaposition of the outer and inner world, communicating both whimsical beauty and meaningful connections to both nature and the ones we love.
