I am Hunter Valley based artist. I engage with various mediums and enjoy exploring, learning, working with, and combining these mediums to produce a diverse range of paintings. I challenge myself to keep developing in artistic style by using different combinations of numerous styles and textures. With each painting I create I am trying to bring pleasure and joy to myself and others.
I AM BIG.
I have a big personality. I come from a big and loud family. I am a big person. I paint on big canvases because I find this freeing and suits everything about me. Painting on big canvases allows me to be untethered by space. I paint large blooms and petals as these express my need to create as it bursts out from me.
I AM BOLD.
I paint with bold colours. I paint with bold strokes.
I AM BRIGHT
I paint what colours I am feeling on that day. When I paint with colours such as raw sienna, black and burnt umber I am remembering my travels to Outback Australia. When I paint with navy’s and blues, I am feeling the peace of sitting by the ocean enjoying the sun. When I paint with colours such as turquoise and aqua, I am remembering the intrigue I feel at the beautiful design of a peacock. When I paint with hot pink, I am sharing a bit of my bigness, my boldness and my brightness.
