Freesia and Amaranth Painting

I am an Australian based artist, illustrator and designer. My work tells a story though the natural world, capturing the essence of sea life, birds, botanicals and other wildlife. I borrow from a variety of illustrative traditions from around the world... you will see elements of Japanese woodblocks, Persian miniatures and Chiaroscuro to name a few. Originally born in New Zealand and now based in Australia, creating art has been a life long passion. I have been constantly developing my art and design skills including formal study and informal study of art, design and professional work in the design industry.
