My work begins with observation. I am drawn to the colours, textures, patterns and shifting moods found in nature, particularly within coastal environments. Growing up at Henley Beach, South Australia, established a lasting connection to the sea and its ever-changing character. The movement of water, changing light, weathered surfaces and sensory experience of the shoreline continue to inform my practice.

Through painting and photography, I seek to capture more than a literal representation of place. I am interested in atmosphere, memory and the emotional resonance of a particular moment. Colour is central to this process, allowing me to communicate energy, movement and feeling.

My visual language has developed through travel, lived experience and sustained engagement with art. Early influences included French Impressionism and the Australian Heidelberg School, while time spent in Europe deepened my appreciation of colour, architecture and expressive form. Living in Bristol, UK, introduced me to the immediacy and energy of street art. Closer to home, the expressive qualities of Australian artists, including Brett Whiteley, have also shaped the way I think about line, movement and place.

Ultimately, my work reflects a sense of curiosity and attentiveness. It is an invitation to pause, look closely and reconnect with the beauty, complexity and constant transformation of the world around us.
