“lush, ethereal planes of drifting colour and form…”
Andrew Harper, The Mercury
With a career spanning architecture, classical music and visual art, I’ve always been a serial creative. Whether on the building site, on stage, or now in the studio, my purpose remains the same: to craft beautiful, extraordinary moments that elevate the everyday.
My paintings explore the shifting weather, colour and contours that shape how a landscape is felt and remembered, rather than seen. Swathes of shifting, emotive colour are layered with thousands of tiny lines arranged in meandering, parallel chains - a cartographic gesture adapted from my great-grandfather’s hand-drawn maps and reinterpreted into my own language of energy and terrain.
I was recently awarded the Henry Jones Art Prize, a $20,000 acquisitive prize for emerging artists.
Raised in the misted hills of the Southern Highlands and now painting from my studio overlooking nipaluna/Hobart, I continue to explore the intuitive interplay of lineage, landscape and imagination.
Thank you so much for taking an interest in my work!
