Sydney Painting

The extraordinary beauty of the unique Australian native flora and fauna was a new and overwhelming sensory experience. It inspired me to immerse myself into the study of the interplay of light with the fluid shapes of birds, flowers and the ornamental patterns they created. I use oil and acrylic paints to try and capture the joyous and unique richness of colour of the Australian nature. My paintings can be saturated with colour or capture the fleeting moments in more muted, pastel tones; they can be ornamental and decorative or authentically realistic.
