I am a Sydney based drawer and painter and I work with acrylic on board and canvas of various sizes.

I like to create work from start to finish, cutting my own boards, stretching my own canvas and making frames.

My work usually starts on site and is inspired by a variety of landscapes.

I look for what stands out in the natural environment and focus on the natural shapes and colours to create the composition.

I try to get a feel of the whole place that I have visited rather than a true representation of a specific scene.

I completed an honours degree in visual arts at the National Art School, Sydney and since that time have been developing my professional practice.
