On the Edge

On the Edge is set in the rugged landscape of Kybunga in the Clare Valley. We stayed at the beautiful Old School House, and these two old cars were hidden in a canyon right next to it. The canyon, carved deep into the earth, is marked by jagged cliffs and rocky outcrops, its dry riverbed revealing the scars of past floods (apparently it gets flooded every 7 years only). The outback colours dominate the composition—rich ochres, burnt oranges, and dusty reds stretch across the scene, evoking the harsh, yet striking beauty of the environment. The cars, abandoned and forgotten, seem to tell a story of time’s relentless march, contrasting the power of nature with the fragility of human creations. I do have a fascination with old cars!

Nature has always fascinated me, and I have felt a deep connection to it for as long as I can remember. I am particularly inspired by the way light transforms landscapes and seascapes - turning familiar scenes into something fleeting, luminous and almost magical. These ever-changing moments captivate me, and through my work I hope to share that sense of wonder with the viewer.

​I am a part-time artist based in the Adelaide Hills, painting from my home studio whenever time allows. My art reflects the profound happiness I feel in the act of creation. Working primarily in oils, I strive to capture nature’s harmony and beauty in realistic scenes that still reveal the artist’s hand - brushstrokes, layered textures, and subtle marks that invite closer inspection.
I am drawn to the richness and versatility of oil paint, often using both brushes and palette knives to build depth and character. While grounded in traditional techniques, I remain curious and open to experimentation, continually exploring new approaches, mediums, and inspirations.

Above all, I hope my paintings offer more than a visual experience — I hope they invite the viewer into a moment of stillness, connection, and joy.
