I was born in Melbourne -grew up in the Dandenongs on a large rural property. My childhood was spent exploring and interacting with the landscape. The landscape has continued to be an endless source of fascination and exploration for my art work. The physical experience of the bush influences our feelings . The four seasons remind us that we are part of a larger organic whole. When viewed at close range the landscape becomes more intimate and delicate revealing its incredible beauty in a very sensory way. I am interested in the contrasts that are found in this constantly changing world. There is life and death, dark and light, wet and dry, hot and cold, delicacy and strength.
The fragility and complexity of our environment is particularly relevant and poignant in the light of more recent awareness and concern about climate change.
