Noosa Hinterlands QLD
I work from my studios on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. Where natural Bees wax, hot and cold meet dry pigments, oil paints, texture and playfulness. Welcome to my world of creative possibilities.

I have mostly put down my brushes in favor of more unconventional painting tools such as scrapers, squeegees, spatulas and rollers/brayers. The textural effects add another dimension to my work.
I create intuitive compositions based on eye flow and the guiding principles of art.
Working with line interests me as does incorporating a variety of painting tools. Lines have infinite variety and purpose and can convey a sense of energy, movement and emotion. They can provide the underlying structure to a painting.
There is nothing more satisfying than dragging buttery wax and paint across my substrate.
When painting abstractly, one can start with an intention, but in the end, the brush and other materials have the last word.
My gut tells me when a painting is finished. The rest of my body does too, I feel a complete inner peace.
If I set a definite time limit to a painting session, I maintain looseness, keep my intellect out, and my emotions at the forefront.
