Artwork Description

This artwork is avaliable for purchase exclusively at Affordable Art Fair Sydney 15-18 June
My work has been highly influenced by the world of commercial art and graphic design. This translates to my art in many ways. My still life paintings are careful composition full of allegories, which capture a moment in time where all represented items are meaningful beyond the composition. Magnolias are very special to me and my family, this one dedicated to my mother in law Roxanne.
