A large paper 73×77 (handmade paper from the Kangaroo Valley) with collage, acrylic and a bit of madness !! I do like this one.

Somehow these shapes appeared today and I went with it… Usually I avoid subjects or they don’t occur to me but maybe the suggestion of a leaf and use of green was too much to resist. A painting is a conversation between brush and surface so maybe the subject was botanical today.

Large canvas 92×121

Some of these are reworked pieces from the past. I often find if I tire of a painting and it no longer holds my attention, something needs to change! Either the painting is not resolved or I have changed my gestural marks. I am always seeking simplicity which is difficult to achieve with vibration and content.

Large 1m square canvas

Industry on the water…..ships, movement, buildings and activity.

Beginning the studio year with colour and accents….”the bullseye is always in the margins”. 50x65cm

71x107cm canvas inspired by a long hot summer.

Canvas 122x92cm. A revisited work inspired by idyllic days spent in Jervis Bay.

I’m enjoying spending days inside during a very hot Sydney summer. Experimentation with collage is both relaxing and rewarding.

I’m thrilled to be joining Art Gallery on Darling….a collaborative gallery of 12 artists this year in Balmain, Sydney. It will be exciting to be a part of such a vibrant group with group and solo shows. Not only will I be exhibiting large works but also these little guys.
