ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This is the feature triptych of my Skyward Series, show casing Australia's spectacular birdlife in its natural setting. I photographed this flock of sulphur-crested white cockatoos in a wild thunder storm outside the tiny village on Mirriwinni in Australia's tropical far north. The birds seemed to be dancing in the torrential rain, somersaulting between the branches of the wild plum trees, which were fruiting. There was such incredible beauty in the striking whiteness of the birds' feathers, so strongly contrasted against the purple darkness of the storm. Transforming this image into an encaustic artwork was such fun. I don't usually work with such dark colours, because the encaustic wax tends to work better with high key photographs. But part of the fun of being an artist is breaking the rules, which I broke gleefully in this case, and with exciting results. The finished piece is full of stormy atmosphere and movement, and would bring a room to life. This is a museum grade triptych. It isn't necessary to frame the 2cm thick hardwood panels, which are prepped with picture hardware and ready to hang, but this piece would look beautiful in an open box frame, with a bright silver edge.

Finalist, Refocus Awards (People's Choice), 2024 Finalist, The Facet Art Prize, 2023 Finalist, The Alice Prize, 2020 I'm an artist and photographer from Byron Bay, in the beautiful sub-tropical region of the Northern Rivers, on the east coast of Australia. The region is known for its beautiful scenery and spectacular wildlife, which I enjoy photographing as a nature photographer. Alongside my career as a scholar and writer, I've been creating art all my life, exhibiting my work at art festivals around the world. In 2017 I decided to launch my own art business, Scorching Skies Art, as an outlet for my encaustic artworks, some of which can be seen here. The technique I'm known for is known as 'photographic encaustic'. It involves burning layers of melted beeswax into enlarged, heatproof photographs, which are bonded to wooden panels and then transformed into wax paintings through the application of oils, inks, pastels and other materials. The resulting artworks take on a life of their own and are impossible to replicate. I'm drawn to the technique because it has such an ethereal quality, and also because the way the wax and pigments mix under the live flame feels like alchemy. Recent accolades for my work include: Finalist in The Alice Prize 2020 for encaustic triptych, 'Alice's Finches' Finalist in the Lethbridge 20000 Small Scale Art Award, 2019 (for 'Swooping Bee-eater', Skyward Series) Finalist in the 2018 Australian Photography of the Year awards (landscape category) Nominations in the 2017 and 2018 Fine Art Photography Awards, London (nature and wildlife categories) Shortlisted nominations in the 2017 and 2018 Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards, London (earth's environments and black and white categories).
