Coral Bommie

Bommies are beautiful, stand alone, rounded coral structures that inhabit waters around a reef. They are made up of rock and different types of coral and they support a diverse community of reef dwellers. They are mini-ecosystems for some species and provide food and shelter for larger organisms. They also provide delight and wonder to humans, when they get to visit one.

I am a painter, using acrylic paints on stretched canvas. I paint with immediacy and fluidity allowing the emotions and memories to pour on to the canvas. I do not work from photographs or a master plan.

The health of the natural environment is extremely important to me and that is reflected in nearly all of my work. I paint landscapes as hardy, practical places that provide healthy habitats for flora and fauna, not as a pleasant view for humans. My view is that the natural environment does not exist for exploitation on any level. My work is a direct and immediate response to the destruction of the natural environment in the name of ‘progress’.

I am a prolific painter and have sold many works over the past 10 years to local and international buyers.

After previously enjoying beautiful studio space at @southernbuoy and @onshore_studios I am very pleased to announce my new studio is situated in my home at Waterview Drive Mount Martha, Victoria.
