Australian semi abstract landscape painter in oil and mixed media

Hello… thanks for visiting! I’m an artist from Mudgee, in central west NSW. My work is inspired by the beauty I find all around me, particularly in our unique Australian environment.

My artworks are layered, semi-abstract portrayals of places and moments that have resonated with me. They are painted intuitively, often taking on a life of their own as I focus on my feelings, senses and memories of a time and place.
