CREATIVE INFLUENCES

​

Each brushstroke and photograph I create reflects my passion for capturing emotion, texture, and light. Growing up on the land north of Bathurst, and later working as a farmhand in the Riverina, I developed a deep and lasting connection to the Australian landscape. The vast, raw beauty of the land—the textures, colours, and the rhythms of farm life shaped by the seasons—has always inspired me, shaping how I see and interpret the world through art.

​

For me, art is not just about painting what I see, but what I feel. It's about connection—between the land, the artist, and the viewer. Through my work, I aim to share my unique interpretation of the country's essence, creating pieces that resonate deeply with those who appreciate rural Australia and its natural landscapes.

​

I'm passionate about blending modern. vibrant aesthetics with timeless techniques like impasto and palette knife painting. By combining bold colours, dynamic brushstrokes, and occasionally other materials to mimic the textures of the land, I create work that feels fresh and contemporary while still honouring the enduring appeal of classic techniques. Each piece reflects a balance of grit and delicacy, capturing movement, harmony, and the emotional resonance of the landscapes that inspire me.
