Time and Tide

The scene is from a popular swimming area in Newcastle, NSW called Bar Beach. This part of the beach is around a rocky headland and provides a miriad of rockpools and platforms. The colours and complexity of the scene is well known to locals and provides both a child friendly educational space as well as a private area for those avoiding crowds, and those on their way to a more secret though treacherous smaller surf beach.

I am an oil painter in love with Australian light and landscapes. Living on Awabakal land, I respect and acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this land. I exhibit in Newcastle, Sydney and regional NSW. The work is gestural and executed with a range of mark making tools to create impasto techniques of the shapes, tones and colours unique to Australia. Often sought for their rich texture and patterned surfaces, many of the works present a rich, varied and bold colour scheme that punch well above their weight.
