“My work is best described as abstract landscape with a specific interest in colour and mood. Most of my work is created from my imagination although I will, at times, refer to sketches and photos I have taken. My paintings follow two distinct themes – on one hand, muted and tranquil and, at times, minimal renderings of country scenery, on the other, bright and cheerfully irreverent patchworked pieces where multi-coloured hillsides are scattered with understated trees and fencelines. Tracks meandering toward the horizon, fence posts with cut remnants of broken wire and birds like crows, magpies and cockatoos are familiar elements in my work, often conveying a sense of vastness and isolation.”
