Artist Statement:
As a seascape artist some say
I have an affinity with the
ocean....
I am an independent &
self-taught & have been
Painting for 13 years.
My works are inspired by my
personal experiences
travelling throughout
Australia & Indonesia & each
piece is visual & literary
reflection of my life as a
nomadic Artist. I paint in
oils, mostly without brushes,
spontaneously, freehand
straight from the tube, mixing
colours on the painting
surface itself & using the
natural of the location & with
recycled materials where
possible.
Each piece is unique & I
exhibit my work independently
of the conventional galleries,
reaching through the
commercialism & convention to
the people. Fortunately I have
been awarded three art awards
in my career as an artist to
date.
A few photo's may be scattered
around as reminders of my
experience, but they never
capture the colours & rarely
depict what I'm trying to
achieve.
On a subconscious level I like
to explore the images from a
practical, historic &
symboligical perspective. I
have a preoccupation with the
symbology & effects of colour
as they occur in form & light.
The way in which we resonate
with colour indicates our
emotional, mental, physical &
spiritual state. It is such a
great tool to tap ...
