Southern Highlands Art Trail  

 I am a contemporary abstract artist, based in Bowral Southern Highlands Australia.

 

Art has been my life and career. Starting in textile design and many years in oil painting. Initially I was taught the traditional techniques of the old masters, which was invaluable as a starting point in oil paint application and a great foundation for any expression.

​

I work in oil on linen and oil and cold wax on wood panels, keeping my creative expression stimulated and challenged I paint between landscapes, flora and non-objective abstracts.

 

Each painting is built up of multiple transparent and opaque layers of colour interactions, adding expressive interest with gestural marks in oil sticks, graphite or charcoal. I further manipulate the surface through scraping, scratching and wiping away, revealing hidden aspects in previous layers. The surface becomes the accumulation of what came before creating a rich and luminous history of mood and mystery.  

​

All art materials are of professional quality, paintings have a protective polished cold wax finish,  signed on back and ready to hang.

​

I have been selected as finalist in art prizes and exhibited within Australia and conducted my on solo exhibition at Hunters Hill Sydney.

My works are held in private collections in Australia, New Zealand, United States and United Kingdom.
