Come Walk with Me

Walking in nature is something we love to do. It soothes the soul and connects you to something greater than yourself. It lightens your mood and you forget yourself for a while. Walking alone especially allows you to experience the inner calm but walking with a friend is good too so long as your mind stays in the present moment.
Every time we walk this track there is something new to took at, hear or smell. Nature is continually changing. Here the walker is engrossed in the moment and is captured as he passes through a ray of sunshine between the trees.

I have always been creative, enjoying to draw since 3 years old. However, art wasn't a prominent part of my life until several challenging and tragic family events occurred. Then in 2010 I went to TAFE and completed certificates I, II, and IV in visual art and I haven't looked back since. I currently paint using oils and acrylic.

My favourite images always come from the natural world, usually during my walks. I will see a scene where the light brings a rare moment of beauty that I want to capture for myself to relive and others to enjoy also. I photograph the scene and use it as the basis of my work but then use my memory of the moment to complete the painting.

Realism is my preferred style. I enjoy other styles between projects for variety. Recently I have been trying to represent my ideas as information visualisation abstracts.

I am very concerned about climate change and the threat to our beautiful world. My paintings capture that beauty and hopefully inspires us all to take care of our home.
