Part of a series of work entitled “Let’s Face It”. This series of work fuses primal and naive elements with a present-day tone. The primitive style faces are integrated with over-simplistic images/symbols that represent fragmented thoughts and memories and display how a world of associated information unfolds. In many ways it is a visual narrative and a creatively abstract form of visual mind mapping which comes together to produce a labyrinth of layered images. The abstract faces that take centre stage are merely a mask designed to deflect attention away from the complexities that exist within, just as people often present in life by showing a happy face that may be hiding incredible sadness, or anger that may be hiding paralysing fear. Each painting is designed to ignite the imagination of the viewer, evoke emotions, and remind us of the incredible depth and complexity that lies within people and life itself.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
I am a self-taught artist who was born and raised in Sydney. I've always been a creative soul. Ever since I can remember art and creativity have been an integral part of my life. I am happiest when I can submerge myself into my creative world. It is a meditative space where time stands still, where I can find solace, reflect, explore and connect with my deeper self.
I am a mixed media artist that typically uses acrylic paint, watercolours, coloured inks, paint sticks and pens, felt tip markers, pencils. My work is very diverse and covers various styles/genres, themes and colour schemes which reflect the mood of the day, week or month. I am as happy creating a gestural abstract piece as I am creating a highly detailed watercolour. As long as I am creating something I am happy.
My art is always an intuitive process that follows an impulse, embraces the accidental and is often full of surprises. It is my way of exploring the unspoken complexities of humans, life and relationships, both with ourselves, others, and the world around us.
