“I create contemporary abstract landscapes, gestures of the colour and the beauty found in the Western Australian nature. I enjoy portraying the landscapes in an inspiring manner trying to capture the essence of a place, rather then reproducing it from photograph, through an exaggeration of colours, forms, and texture. ”

“I call my works ‘emotional landscapes’ : colourful abstract paintings that have a suggestive presence that evoke intense visual pleasure by appealing directly to the senses.
My paintings are multi-layered and richly textured with complex under-coats. I like to describe the gestural movements in my works as a ‘lyrical fluency’.
