Feeding Time on the Reef

My Reef Series is all about my love of Tropical Queensland. I am originally from Cairns in North Queensland so images of the The Great Barrier Reef have always inspired me. To create these paintings I use a mixture of mediums overlaying many layers, illustrating the many overlapping layers of shapes and colours found in these landscapes beneath the sea. These artworks provide a tranquil place to escape to when you have one hanging in your home. It is my hope that my paintings are a constant reminder of what we will be missing if we lose this precious environment.

I am a Brisbane based artist and studied at Queensland College of Art and completed a Diploma of Art and Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Graphic Design.

My graphic design background influences my style of rendering in the use of bold graphic images and colours. I use my design skills to interpret the content of photographs and simplify the images and colours to create my work.

I have experimented with various art processes and mark making techniques and I have also been involved in and exposed to a variety of art practices. Combining techniques I have used in the past with newly learned techniques, my artwork has evolved and will continue to adapt and change as I gain more experience anqd knowledge.

I have also had the opportunity to teach, firstly at tertiary level, and now as a workshop facilitator. I love people and it is a great way to share skills and experiences with others who share a passion for art.
