Artist Statement

I do not want to hide under a bush – I want the world to see my paintings –

To paint, to create, to mix colours, to exhibit and say come on world look at my paintings and like them, love them, laugh at them – l have used humour, personal observations of real life events, along with my imagination to develop a group of works that have been painted over a period of years. All artworks are original and it is my hope that they appeal to both adults and children alike. I find it hard to resist painting the colours of landscapes, parades, animals and stories l find interesting in popular culture.

Artist statement

This artwork explores human dimensions to the environment, the visceral energy of place and the disconnections to space through a personal experience of changing location from a coastal location of Kangaroo Island to a desert region of Mildura. The juxtaposition of differing connections to location is explored through the quality of the water’s surface, the fleeting unstable and real nature of the reflections signifying my response to an arid desert land, contrasting with flowing, colourful, stable unreal qualities of the reflected colour areas that depict my home place, and within this journey finding unexpected life and utopia in an unknown land. The Water Mirrors connect the ever-changing systems of nature with society, ourselves and our very existence in the light of creating a more environmentally sustainable future for all.
