About

My studio is set in the Australian bushland, of South-East Queensland. We've seen both flood and drought here, which influences how I create. Persistence and endurance are a mainstay. Especially with the native animals, constantly testing boundaries. Which describes my journey in artistic expression, perfectly.

I like to test boundaries too. Which is why you will find, an eclectic body of work here.

I experiment with different subjects, art materials, expression, art movements, challenges, etc. There's still so much more to discover too. All documented on my art blog, bearing the name of our property. Because it's not me without my home - and it's not home without my art. Whether in the landscape, or in the studio, I'm here to make my mark.

Thank you for joining me!

  DAY 10: (pick) I chose a plectrum with a simplified turtle emblem. Black, Teal and Magenta Inks, with a gold, gel-pen for embellishments. I was starting to see in black and white, with all these monochrome illustrations. So just wanted to a add more colour and variety, for a change.
