The sun above, a blazing crown, the bushland vast and wide. Yet, in this wild expanse, confusion became my guide. Among the white sally trees, I wandered without a trace, My compass spun in circles, nature's maze to embrace. Iced snow gum leaves rattled, a haunting lullaby, This bushwalker's heart thumped loudly, questioning the sky. Not far from here surely, I had whispered to myself, Yet the snow-dusted terrain refused to offer help. The trees are not lost, I thought, I sat and broke a twig. The feelings swirling in my stomach were unsettling and big. The alpine raven swooped and stared, his intention unclear, Perhaps he is reminding me I am not lost, I am simply here.

I’m a visual artist and lifelong musician. I was raised on a working farm in country NSW Australia, with wide-open spaces, motorbikes, animals and endless adventures. I graduated from the Australian Institute of Music in 1998 with big dreams of a music career, so I set sail into the night. Music led to many adventures all over the world, however, the urge to paint became overwhelming. In 2003-2005 I completed a diploma in Entertainment Design at Enmore Design Centre majoring in Illustration. I was on the enigmatic path to being a professional artist in 2006 after being accepted into the National Art School, however, I veered out of my studies to pursue my musical endeavours. For the next 15 years, I travelled the world; performance and adventure - I've lived on a remote Caribbean island and busked for bread in Scotland. In 2019 I toured nationally supporting Icehouse whilst playing the guitar for Do Re Mi. My art and music have always been entwined. Painting has inspired change and changed my perspective on what is possible. Painting is in my blood. I followed in my father and grandmother's footsteps. In 2020 I began to seriously dedicate my life to the appreciation and study of the natural world via the discipline of oil painting. Today I am a dedicated full-time artist living in Canberra. I’m a bushwalker, a skier, and a dusk chaser. I paint my interpretation of Australian landscapes, real and imagined. I employ a variety of flat brushes and palette knives. I like to use bold colours and impasto techniques to express the energy and feel of a subject. I set out to present my subject matter with hints of intrigue and mystery; keeping forms loose and possibilities endless. I yearn for the painting to perpetually transform and evoke dialogue even after its completion. The allure of art resides in its capacity to stir emotions within an individual. Bearing this in mind, each stroke of my brush is imbued with transparency, freedom & responsibility, and an authentic aspiration to encompass beauty, whether it be sombre, vivid, or pleasing to the eye. Every waking moment is spent creating, painting, learning, networking, maintaining socials & my sales platform; my website In March 2022 I spent 3 weeks in New York City exploring the masterworks and walking the MET, Guggenheim and MOMA gallery floors. In June 2023 I studied and hiked the Italian Dolomites. I viewed some of the greatest art ever created in Rome, Florence and Bologna.
