"Aqueous Swarm IV – Original Abstract Painting Sea Blues" Painting

‘I am interested in making paintings with verve that breathe with an intense uplifting energy for those viewing them. I am totally inspired and fascinated by life forces with its contrasts of order and chaos, but especially in the patterns created by nature, particularly microscopic worlds, aquatic life and the infinite beauty and wonder of the natural world. Having grown up on the cliffs of Bass Strait I am also deeply inspired by the life giving waters of the sea. The power of a crashing wave, vast horizon lines, submerged views of light or miniscule single cell algae, these universes are forever influencing the pictorial spaces in what I do’.
