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.

Come and have a look at my new exhibition in my studio / gallery space in central Mudgee…

An abstract painting of a landscape featuring trees, a body of water, and a sky with various colors like yellow, gray, green, pink, and blue.

‘FRAGMENTS OF MEMORY’ is showing in the studio for the next 3 weeks! I’m open lots of days cause it’s only a short period, so pop by and have a look if you’d like to 👐 I’m here - although if you don’t see me
The paintings are on the wall! 😅 After a busy time creating I’m finally ready to share them with you. It’s so good to see a whole body of work come together - it’s a vibrant display of colour, texture and life. I hope it fills s
