In the style of watercolour, an abstract landscape using wet-on-wet fluid acrylics to create a molten flow. Accents using ink and pen throughout.

Ascent

Young Tawny frogmouth sits upon a stump waiting. Handmade rice paper prints adorn the leaves and flowers in the surrounds. A fantasy land.

Tawny

Handmade prints create organic collage pieces which I use to represent the various colours of life of nature. These prints take on a life of their own.

Handmade printed collage papers

Come closer to view myriad insects with their iridescent wings and bodies. From a side view, see Golden Wattle and Namaraag written in the background. Tiny yellow spheres abound.

What is Giclee?

The standard for museums and galleries around the world, giclée is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are “sprayed” onto a high-quality paper. The smooth transitions of colour gradients make giclée prints appear much more realistic than other prints. is superior to other types of printing and the closest to the artist's actual painting. To be able to make such a high-quality print, the camera or scanner used to capture or scan the art must be able to do so with a high level of resolution.

My works are printed on the 100% cotton rag 310gsm fine art paper, which will last a lifetime. (I collaborate with Find Art Imaging, Balmain NSW, link below). All Limited Edition prints are signed and inscribed with the number of the print. Because they are printed on demand, they’re available in various sizes. They are delivered to the collector unframed, in a postal mailing tube insuring they arrive undamaged.

About my journey

I believe that Art can be found in everything and anything one chooses. I see art in the clouds. In the cracks of a sidewalk. In the sound of wind whistling through trees. Art affects the senses: what we see and touch may elicit a smell, a sound or even a taste. Because these senses are unique for everyone, the art experience is different for everyone.

When I create I get the greatest joy and satisfaction when the work evokes my senses. I let the images develop organically - when I begin a new piece I have an idea in my head but the result is often radically different when I finish. To that end, I use media and colour in unconventional ways. Juxtaposing contrasting mediums, glazing and layering unrelated colours, all meant to evoke emotions in the finished product. I allow the creative journey to take over, much like nature, when left to its own space, reclaims what humans have put in place. In my pieces, you'll see these layers if you look closely. Many of my pieces are textural - I encourage touching. And finally, I lean toward the natural world, because for me, nature in its myriad manifestations, brings out my emotions.
