"I think the best paintings are always borne out of experience, and that's the thing......in the work you're always trying to get closer to your experience of the world."
I guess my story is the same as so many other artists. Started drawing early, immensely curious about the visual world, not just how it looks but how I see it, and then at some point along the way I discovered inroads of expressing how I see and feel about it, and that's when it started... this immensely satisfying struggle. I live and work on the Gold Coast of Queensland Australia, my surroundings and other interests in the natural world, literature, music and art history form my inspiration and I am constantly trying to bring those elements together in my work.
