I make art to explore the emotional dualities within a scene — the pulse beneath stillness, the tension between turmoil and calm.
Whether painting landscapes or portraits, I work intuitively, letting colour, gesture, and layered marks reveal the feeling that sparked the piece. Each work begins with an origin point: an atmosphere, a memory, a presence. I want viewers to sense that beginning, to feel the story beneath the surface, and to find their own connection in the spaces I create.
I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands of Hornsby Shire, the Darug and GuriNgai peoples, paying respect to their Ancestors and Elders past and present.
