Artwork Description

I have been looking closely at our marvellous eucalypts lately - rich in colour, character, symbols of Australia - tough, resilient and beautiful. This is one in a series of such works that celebrate the many tones of grey, green, white and even rusty reds. Unfortunately, this work has a small patch for a tiny hole that occurred after completion. Arrgh. It is invisible to the naked eye and so I decided to proceed to upload the work for sale with full disclosure and a very substantial discount. You can see for yourself in the extreme closeup in the slideshow.

My ambition is always seeking to capture beauty in the everyday. Many paintings share a strong connection to the environment and our place within it.
At the heart of everything is the search for light that transforms the ordinary into something else.
I moved to Warrnambool, on Victoria’s south west, after almost three decades as a newspaper journalist.
In 2020, I completed a Visual Arts Cert IV course at South West TAFE.
I primarily paint with oils in my home studio in a figurative and realism style; influenced by artists whose art features a strong storytelling element such as American, Edward Hopper.
In 2025 I held my first solo exhibition in Warrnambool called The Extraordinary Ordinary, celebrating how every day scenes can be incredibly beautiful, when viewed in a certain light.
I have been a finalist in various well known Australian art prizes, including the Kennedy Prize, John Villiers Outback Art Prize and ANL Maritime Art Award and Exhibition.
