Interiors The World Beneath These paintings are a record of the scenes that I witnessed in the underground reservoir that normally holds Sydney’s fresh drinking water, then emptied for maintenance. (Once every 20 years). From a solo exhibition held at Gallery V, Woolloomooloo in 2015 titled “The World Beneath”. Some of these works are still available. ​ ​

Plein Air These paintings have been painted in the Plein Air. Outside on a portable easel. ​
