Self Portrait Painting

A multi-skilled artist – Painter, print-maker & photographer. After studying Fine Art in my hometown of Newcastle, I moved to Brisbane to develop my business marketing skills. Continuing my love to create, I subsidised my studies by making & selling mosaic & decorative mirrors on consignment via retail outlets & markets. Stoking the fire of my passion, I continued to create not only for myself but for the Brisbane community through street art murals. After finalising my Business/Marketing studies, I made the move to Sydney and began my marketing career. I continued to create whenever I could while working full time in global digital marketing. I love using both sides of my brain; I get to be creative in a technical way. I've reached a point where I can focus less on my marketing career & more on my art creation. I take in inspiration from around the world whenever I can. Inspired by Pop Art, music & New York art of the 80s, Picasso, Dali, Miro, Kandinsky & Klee also offer a feast for my imagination. My favourite place is my imagination. I see creativity as my therapy, it’s how I process life. I don’t like to draw or paint what my eyes see; I prefer to create what my imagination sees. My photographic abstraction technique allows me to do that with photography. No restrictions because creativity has no boundaries.
