Glass House Mountains

The remarkable Glass House Mountains of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland dominate the landscape. Pictured here is Mt. Beerwah on the left and Mt. Coonorin on the right, together they form part of the series of spectacular volcanic plugs rising from the coastal plain.
The warm frost-free winters and loamy soils – perfect for growing sweet pineapples for most of the year.
Together these images of the sub-tropics were the inspiration for this painting. Comes complete with a custom made Tasmanian Oak hardwood timber frame.

My True Love.
Generally my style of art is Representational – realistic stuff, anything that has a strong recognisable subject. Sometimes however I abandon my fine art lured by my previous life as a graphic designer and momentarily I'm overcome and revert to the use of minimalist shapes, images and bright colours.
Being an impatient individual, I prefer to work with acrylics rather than other mediums because of their quick drying time. This allows me the flexibility to make mistakes, knowing that I'm able to quickly correct and paint over them.
As an artist I usually I start with a pencil sketch in my painting diary. I don't necessarily paint it straight away, but often visit the diary as inspiration for future work. My true love is the challenge of capturing the the things and sights that have inspired me on my travels around and about.
