Near my home is a forest of old Angophora trees on sand dunes that resemble groups of people in different poses.Drawing these trees is like a drawing the model and this tree reminded me of a friend dancing to music in the late afternoon. In the summer the trees colour with strong orange, red and yellow as the old bark falls away and i use these colours as the starting point to explore the form in an expressionist manner. This tree is high on a dune so the background is a tangle of overlapping orange branches. In the afternoon the sun colours these high trees and the background fills with blue punctuated by highlighted branches. The brushstrokes were deliberately strong to suggest form and activate the surface as the tree dances.

Australia
Born in Melbourne, Australia and lived in all states of the east coast. I have continued a dual career as artist and landscape architect. I work in painting and drawing, pastels and sculpture. My artwork is a direct response to the experience and emotion of bush walking and my personal study of other artists’ practise and philosophy. The ink drawings are the most direct and reflect the initial reaction to the bush. I have developed a lifestyle of frequently walking in natural areas. The drawings help me to more fully experience and describe my response to places, their rhythms and the rocks and the plants and animals found in them. Scale and point of view is important in my interpretation of the landscape how monumental scale, perspective and point of view influences to experience of the landscape. The use of ink drawn with found objects assists in establishing direct and unpredictable marks to build on using ink wash and watercolour. Most work has a substantial base outdoors and is finished in the studio. I enjoy the subtlety and strength of ink and the direct colour of pastel and watercolour. Sculpture is developed intuitively from the from these experiences and as a way of exploring conceptual ideas about change.
