Concept

I am a contemporary abstract artist, working primarily with acrylic and oils. Abstraction gives me freedom, leaves room for surprises and encourages me to be brave. For me, painting is like soul searching and each artwork is a reflection. I paint to explore and express, with minimal planning and going where the paint takes me. I find that what I paint, is often what I need the most. For the viewer, I wish to take them to a place, a memory, or an emotion and allow them to dwell in the moment. Sometimes it’s simplicity and balance, or a precious moment of peace. Sometimes it’s bravery and resilience. Sometimes it is freedom and escape. My work is often reminiscent of nature. I am inspired by nature and the human response to life – through experiences both good and bad. I often work in a limited palette, layering texture and gold leaf upon subtle fields of colour. I also take inspiration from the colours and materials before me, how they transform through my movements and brush strokes. My work is often reminiscent of nature.

Biography

I am a Perth, West Australian based artist.
My love for art started when I was a child, however this was not a passion I was encouraged to pursue.

It wasn't until after a decade working in corporate marketing that I was reminded that I loved and was any good at art at all.

My aunt had just built a stunning new house and asked me to create a painting for her. I had not painted...basically since high school. There were a few vain attempts to paint - but I had never finished anything.

My aunt was ever so trusting of me. . .she gave me the main entry area to her home; a wall, custom cut specifically to house art. And she entrusted it to me. A girl who had not finished a painting since Year 12.

Haha, no sweat. I can do it....

AND THEN...

My aunt asked me to create a second painting for her upstairs lounge. "Insert happy and slightly concerned smiley face." At this point I had not finished the first painting yet... "Smiley face... Okay aunty - I can do it for you!"

But I guess all it took was a bit of faith and trust. And off I went!
