About The Artwork

Limited edition Giclée print on Ilford textured paper (cotton). Edition 1 of 10, signed and numbered by the artist. Size: 67.5 x 90cm. In this monochromatic study, I wanted to capture a quiet, pensive and soulful atmosphere. The mess of bare winter trees, the rambling foliage of the bank, and the rushing of the river is juxtaposed with the stillness and statuesque quality of the lone figure. This photograph exemplifies a very private moment, which is enhanced even more so by employing black and white - washing away any trace of colour that would distract from the stark imagery. This scene was not contrived in any way, but rather serendipitously captured, resulting in a true sense of authenticity which can never be orchestrated. The river cuts diagonally through the image, dividing the tangled branches from the lush undergrowth in the foreground, thus drawing the eye to the figure who bridges this dichotomy, creating a beautiful scene. This artwork was shortlisted in the 2017 Contemporary Art Awards, and featured in their online exhibition and hard copy and online published catalogue. Thank you for viewing my photography and art. I hope it has brought joy into your life, and perhaps your home.

I like to think of myself as an “image maker” when it comes to my art. And, I have been interested photography all my life, since I first used my mother’s old box Brownie camera as a young child in the 1960’s. Throughout the years I graduated from black and white photos, to colour slides and prints, and ultimately to digital photography - where I have found an expansive sense of creative freedom. With its potential for instant replay, direct critical evaluation, and unlimited scope for artistic control, enhancement, and experimentation, the digital medium allows for the capture of ephemeral and serendipitous subjects as never before. It affords an immediacy and spontaneity to the photographic process that is truly liberating. Nature plays an important roll in my work. I have a large garden in the Adelaide Hills. I am passionate about capturing natural moments in my garden - fleeting images which, if not immediately shot, will disappear, often never to return. Thus I always have a camera or device of some sort with me when in my garden. I feel compelled to capture the beauty that I see and preserve it to share with others. I rarely contrive photographic compositions or use a tripod as I don't feel the need - Mother Nature gives up her charms without the need for me to orchestrate. Sunlight, weather conditions, and subjects are ever changing, and to capture beautiful and meaningful images, that tell a story, is a lifelong quest. And then, to be able to use digital technology to enhance, filter, and highlight my images to create truly unique and bespoke works of art, is a privilege. Over the years I have developed a comprehensive and varied photographic portfolio, with subjects ranging from nature (including my own garden), landscapes and wildlife, to portraiture, architecture and food styling. I am endlessly inspired by the beauty and majesty of the natural world in general, and by the unique Australian landscape in particular. I have also travelled extensively in Europe, Asia, and Northern Africa where I photographed subjects of all kinds - modern and historic. I enjoy taking photographs of a vast array of subjects, with a particular fascination for the subtle light variations found at different times of the day.
