New Beginnings no.4 Painting

Finalist Lethbridge 20,000 Small Scale Art Award 2023. Represented by Sketch Collective Gallery, Sydney. I am an artist from Blue Mountains, just outside of Sydney, Australia. I started my art journey just over 20 years ago, starting in portrait drawings in charcoal and graphite. I have a graphic design and photography background. I have exhibited my photography works a number of times but I have only discovered my love for landscape paintings in the recent years. I love painting expressive landscapes with acrylic, oils and pastels. My main influence is the impressionists, including Claude Monet, Renoir, Camille Pissarro and Arthur Streeton. My goal is to capture the beauty of nature that people often take for granted. I never lack inspiration when there’s beauty all around us and above us.
