Artist StatementAs a watercolour artist, I seek to authentically express my emotional connection to nature. I wait with anticipation for the moment when my awareness of the physical act of art making recedes to be taken over by the energy of the creative process. It is a mystery that defies explanation and remains delightfully magical.
I adore the natural landscape and in particular, the majesty of trees. I am incessantly curious and continuously search for new ways to combine watercolours with mixed media and unusual surfaces. I admire the subtle and understated greens of Australian foliage, the remarkable textures of bark and the sharp contrast of the azure blue West Australian skies. It is a beauty to behold and one that I hope is successfully translated into my works for the viewer to appreciate. As I create, the phrase, “I wonder.....” floats in my inner landscape ultimately leading to works that are as unorthodox as they are traditional. I am an adventurous artist and a scientific explorer. The best of both worlds |
