Sapphire Coast NSW
I love using oil paints to represent the beauty of the landscape around me. I live on the Sapphire Coast of NSW where there is no shortage of beauty to bring to life on the canvas!

I come from a background in Mathematics and Computer science; about as far removed from art as one could imagine! I began drawing with a cognitive approach, challenging myself with different visual perspectives, sources of light etc. I have worked with many different media — graphite, charcoal, pastels, watercolours, acrylic, and oils. I ultimately settled on oil paints, as I love their colour and versatility.
I am driven to continuously learn, to develop my skills and a style that does justice to the incredible landscape that surrounds us. There is a wealth of beauty in our coastline, bushland, rivers, and our red centre. To capture it faithfully on canvas for others to enjoy will be a lifelong learning process; a challenge that I’m excited to embrace.
I am married with 4 children, and my art studio is a playroom strewn with toys, crayons, kids painting paraphernalia, cardboard creations held together with bits of sticky tape and wool, and the odd chip packet. I wouldn’t have it any other way!
