Abstract Art – Creative Expression Slowly moving towards abstraction. These paintings are experimental. I am searching for my style, my 'language'. Contact me if you'd like to invest in my early abstracts! (not in the shop atm) Recherche Cold Waves II $2600 Memories of my trip to Recherche Bay, where the water was crystal clear and aqua over the sands. I imagine it would be wild in a storm, although daily calm when we were there. 89 x 106cm Acrylic on Canvas 2021 On a dark wall. I'm confident that this painting would look good on any colour wall. In this case, I have a dark lounge room, and I really like the contrast. Rendered Silence (Rock Garden at Launceston) $3200 Memory of Tasmania. We camped at large park on the outskirts of Launceston, and I enjoyed painting the water gardens that surrounded the campsite.

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. ​ ​

Retrospective Series Series 1: This Change Thing (Little Nippers) Solo Exhibition, Brunswick Street Gallery, Fitzroy, Vic, Australia, 2010. ​ Children from the surf life saving clubs in Sydney, Australia, crossed with the Roman Catholic Church in Rome. A semi-biographical concept whereby the awkward juxtaposition of innocent child vs paternalistic authority creates the narrative. Mixed with current issues of global warming, sexism, and sexual abuse, these paintings have multiple meanings. "My mind was spinning with ideas when I composed each image. I charged the paintings to communicate their layers. They will, over time." ​ or ​ Artist Statement A major change in my work developed after a visit to Rome in 2009. Coming from a religious beginning, my experiences as a child within ‘The Church’ became my creative muse. With hindsight I find the perceived authority and solemnity that is represented by the huge, resplendent basilicas very challenging. In my experience, the relationship of the Church to small girls was ambiguous. It ranged from paternalism at best, through indifference to misogyny. My protagonists are young athletes, removed them from their typical backdrops of beaches and parks, and placed into unexpected environments, such as a cathedral or revered museums. My girls are indifferent to their environment, referencing the fixed stares in a Melozzo fresco. Hordes of children running through the Basilica, surfers using the sacred stairs, and swimmers undergoing Little Nippers training in church... these are wonderfully palliating exploits for me. The contrast transports them in importance and gavitas beyond their original status, and creates a juxtaposition of irreverent irrelevance. With “Strange Arcade” I depict a life drawing model in the revered halls of St Peters Basilica, contemplating the carved figures with their intense gestures and loaded symbols. No longer the innocent child, this women, the secular common person, is observing her surrounds, and contemplates the overdressed, complex formalities of the ‘devine’ world. In “Rising Flood Downs Basilica” and “It’s not rocket science, this change thing” I have an added reference to climate change issues, a possible new direction for me.

"This Change Thing" Oil on canvas 120 x 100cm Sold Series 2: The Rocks Group Exhibition: Brunswick Street Gallery, Fitzroy, Vic, Australia. 2009. The Rocks, Sydney The Rocks: I began 2009 working on an Urban Landscape Industry series, which explored the concept of depth and space of the engineered environment, with reference to the Romantics, and the juxtaposition and role of men and woman in those spaces. Old Town: My trips to The Rocks also resulted in paintings of the “old town” nestled in the new. Views from high looking over the earlier architectural styles, to the modern glass blocks of new Sydney behind. The Cafés in Melbourne After a visit to Melbourne, my preferred genre became the cafes, lanes and people south of the border. I had voyeuristic intent with my camera, photographing the small groups who were huddled under black umbrellas, engrossed in conversation. I also recorded the graffiti that is omnipresent in the city centre. Both elements became subjects for my work.
