Another fun , vibrant piece with hints of bold and subtle hues. A landscape filled with a tree in orange and a dam for sheep to gather. I grew up with sheep and farming and only introduced this wonderful subject matter to my practice in recent years. I had such a fabulous response to my first pieces that I have continued to create works with my quirky, abstract sheep as the prominent subject matter. I am always out photographing and sketching livestock and the landscape, with hundreds of preliminary A4 sketches to use as a reference for future works. This piece is more complex than some of my other more simplistic works, however, I thoroughly enjoy creating anything with this fabulous, oddly defined creature. This piece sits beautifully with other works on this page. You may prefer a single work or two complimentary pieces to fill your space. You can also utilise Bluethumb’s framing service. Enjoy.

This painting is painted using many thin layers of oil on canvas to achieve vibrancy in colour. It is a medium-sized painting on high-quality handmade canvas stretcher frames. These stretcher frames are warp-resistant. A canvas has been hand-stretched over the frame and the sides of this painting are black. The painting is made using small brushstrokes and the texture of the paint and brush marks are visible on the surface of the canvas.

Lux Artem is an ongoing project combining landscapes and lightpainting to see the world through different eyes. The glyphs are to complement the landscape not overwhelm it.

We are overwhelmed everyday by beautiful images of the familiar. I imagine these scenes transformed into undiscovered landscapes which renew our perceptions of our world.

This is part of an award winning series of images. Top 10 in the Australian Emerging Photography awards.

As humans, we encounter anxiety in the face of something 'indefinite' or 'uncertain'. This work reflects the anxieties that surrounds the human condition, one's self, and one's relation to the world. Humans have a need to create meaning from their lives, and the absurdity of the world and their own existence leaves them in a state of despair and anxiety. These ideas are investigated in this work through dark yet comical renderings.
Painting wraps around the edges, framing is optional.

Patttaya Fish Market.
I am working on a new series of Fish Markets, but not those huge, soulless and cold buildings.
Fisk Markets where people are coming together, by the beach or near the beach, where the catch is fresh, where fish is work, daily. Where fish is smelly and men and women are making a living with a direct contact with Nature.
This piece is particularly colourfull and bright.
Is a statement.
Neon signs, wires, people, confusion.
If you have been there you know what I mean, if you havent, you can probably imagine it.
Local fish is the primary source of this life, sold on stalls or restaurants, cooked on the street, caught not far.
The work in unframed
The frame in the photos are examples.
