"Yellowtail Kingfish 'Kingy' Scientific Illustration" Painting

My lifelong passion for marine life has always inspired my art and after a few years painting, I made the decision to fully dedicate myself to being a professional artist. Since then, I’ve sold numerous pieces to collectors across Australia and internationally, and I regularly exhibit my work — sharing both the art and the fascinating marine creatures I portray.

As a keen snorkeler, many of my artworks are based on photographs I’ve taken during underwater adventures. My love for the ocean and its unique ecosystems is evident in every piece I create. Using acrylic paints, I explore both the translucent quality of water and the rich, bold layers opaqueness of the medium. I love the contrast that comes from combining loose, light-filled brushwork with detailed realism.

My portfolio includes larger, expressive scenes of reef environments, bursting with colour and movement, as well as smaller, more intricate studies that capture the delicate beauty of individual species.

I believe artwork should bring joy and tranquillity to a space. My pieces are designed to evoke a sense of calm, connection to nature, and memories of the sea — whether it's holidays by the coast, days spent swimming or diving, or the simple peace that comes from being near the water.

If you're considering a piece, I’d love to help bring a little piece of the ocean into your space.
