My landscape painting has long been concerned with the environmental impact of human activity on wilderness. I often focus on humankind’s polarised relationship with the environment created by an inherent fear of the vast uncontrolled wilderness. I juxtapose this against the destructive power of human “management” of the environment. As someone living in a town inside a national park I constantly witness traces of human presence being [seemingly] indelibly scratched into the surface of the earth by significant marks left by machinery, development and vehicles in the same way an artist leaves daubs of paint upon the surface of a canvas. Having once been lost in a Queensland National Park I became aware that one often feels a foreboding about the isolation within a national park wilderness. I have sought to elicit a sense of danger or menace that often accompanies this but also the sadness about the continual exploitation and damage to the fringes of wilderness. “From a Dark Place” is an ironic reflection about how our marks upon the ancient earth will erode with time despite significant human impact.

Australia
My initial art training occurred in TAFE and Colleges of Advanced Education in Sydney, Australia the 1970s, where I was strongly influenced by Abstract Expressionism, sculptural formalism and performance-installation art. I practiced as a sculptor and performance artist until the late 80s. This was punctuated by two performances at the Cite Internationale Des Artes, Paris in 1984 courtesy of a AGNSW Moya Dyring Studio residency and an Australia Council travel grant. In the 1990s I began to paint and studied a Master of Arts at The University of Western Sydney from 99-2001.Over 20 years my studio research evolved to embrace the concept of "totalized time" and the stratification of memory in my work lends itself to the historical references I use in my paintings, creating a mixture of philosophical and ideological threads through time.
