​A Sydney painter creating with studies from life and in a studio process, towards previews, upcoming events, shows and exhibitions.

Artist statement 

The harbour views from interiors and places. I paint from the remembered landscape and compositions I carry around.  Drawing from fragments of landscape and parts of life.  Painting from places around the harbour looking to settings, colour layers of landscape and the harbour foreshores. Oil painting on linen with brushes and palette knives layered carefully over weeks. That becomes transformed into an emotional and expressive abstract still life, interiors and landscape style.
