Cedar Creek Series - Portal

Inspired by a favourite summer swimming creek in the lush country around Samford in Queensland. The soft, relaxing greens and water effects are juxtaposed with the mystery of a disappearing figure.

The artwork was created by layering transparent oil paint. The colours were added and removed to create unexpected directions and textures in the paint to encourage a feeling of mystery and alchemy.

I have always drawn and painted, it's in my blood. I put myself through Griffith university and completed my Bachelor of Visual Arts in fine art and an Honours year after that completed in 1996. Since then I have had solo exhibitions and group exhibitions of my work, much of it conceptual in the early years. I have a great love of nature and science which has come through in my work. I love travel and have recently travelled to exotic countries like Egypt, Morocco, Turkey, Spain, Greece, Ireland and Scotland so my work has been inspired by the spiritual and cultural aspects of these wonderful places.
