Into the Light

In the late afternoon we were walking along this road in Tallong and the sun was perfectly placed to create this amazing light effect. I enhanced the colours and extended rings further on the right side to get a warm spiritual effect. The trees add to the mystery with their sculptural trunks and delicate hanging leaves.
The painting is colourful and can be interpreted by the viewer anyway they like so is likely to be noticed and enjoyed.

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.
