Up by Flaggy Creek

Following a period of heavy rain, the water in Newcastle's Flaggy Creek was humming and buzzing, waking everything to life. This and the light co-joining to make the painting experience magical. The popular green corridor in Newcastle navigated on the famous Fernleigh Track comes to life with such seasonal rain. It is impossible to be unmoved and impossible not to smile.

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.
