Recently awarded the 'Young Artist Excellence Award' for this piece in the SPLASH exhibition held by the royal Queensland arts society.

The judges comments are as follows: This piece impressed me in the handling of the medium and the use of atmospheric perspective underwater. It is a good composition, delicately rendered and observed.
Judge (Jane James)

Featuring an Achilles tang, powder black tang and chromas fish, all of which call home a stunning orange ochre brain coral.

I took inspiration from my experience on the great barrier reef mid 2022. Using some of the references photos I had taken during my snorkel off the coast of Cairns.

I call these pieces little windows to the reef. In a moment, they can transport you to an underwater world.
Rich in colour and movement, this piece is eye catching and refreshing.
