The Ridge Painting

Growing up in a family where both of my parents were artists it is in my genes to be creative. My Father is Syd Mather and we are related to Alfred Eustace and Walter Withers. I have spent all my life persuing creative outlets. Expressing myself through artistic endeavors is an essential part of life for me and creating art is my happy place. I work primarily using traditional mediums for my artworks and also incorporate modern digital techniques when painting some of my prints. I am a self taught abstract artist and I hope to bring you a spark of joy and happiness when you view my artwork. My paintings have a unique style with feelings and emotion through them which I hope to convey to the viewer. I am a huge lover of colour and texture and always try to capture flow and movement in my work. I take inspiration from everywhere, however nature is the most inspiring to me. I’ve lived in many places in Australia and this exposure to so many different environments has shaped all the imaginary places I paint. Ideas come to me intuitively with a sudden vision then I feel I must create it! The painting naturally evolves as it needs to be through many layers. My imagination is always working overtime. Being able to create something that comes from my soul is such a blessing to me and I hope you can take something positive away from viewing my work. My artworks are collected in Australia and internationally.
