About me
Welcome to my art gallery! I am a painter on the South Coast of NSW.
​
As a lifelong painter inspired by the beauty of nature, I strive to capture the essence of landscapes, birds, animals, and flora in my work.
My unique style blends spontaneous looseness with intricate detail, aiming to evoke mood and emotion.
I hope my art brings a sense of calm and joy, uplifting your space and enriching your home.
My Story
Welcome to my artistic journey!
From my first mail order of acrylic paints at age 9 to discovering the beauty of watercolors, my passion for art has only grown stronger over the years. Although I took a detour through business school, I never lost sight of my love for painting.
​
I'm pasionate about exploring the unpredictable beauty of watercolour, continually experimenting to capture mood, atmosphere, and emotion. My artwork aims to evoke feelings of peace and joy, often reflecting the subtle hues of nature and my own personality. ​
​
While painting en plein air is the most ideal, I find joy in capturing the essence of nature through my trusty Canon SX HS camera, and on the spot sketches. This way I can explore vibrant landscapes and intricate details of flora and fauna creating unique references for paintings later in the studio.
​
In a turbulent world I look for sanilty in peaceful paintings, ones that make you smile when you pass them in the hallway. A painting can bring back memories of days gone by, family holidays or that special walk along the riverbank. I like my birds to have happy personalities, emphasising their playfulness and beauty... that's just what resonates with me. If you like pleasant, calming paintings on your wall, join me as we find these treasured moments, and hopefully that special something that brings you joy!

"It has arrived! The painting is glorious.
I absolutely love it! It represents the hope and inspiration I feel about this newest chapter of my life, but isn’t too showy (if you know what I mean).
It feels very
grounded, and grounded in the love of a place which means so much to me. I can’t thank you enough."
