biography
How does one organise a place without taming it? I am a painter living in the Blue Mountains, where the surrounding bushland is the starting point for much of my work. My paintings begin with the visual complexity of the Australian bush, where I search for an underlying structure through colour, shape and gesture. I treat landscape as raw material, dismantling and rearranging its forms while testing how far I can move away from representation without losing its sense of place. Working primarily in acrylic and oil, I combine observation, drawing and experimentation to develop semi-abstract paintings that sit between landscape and abstraction. My practice is constantly evolving through regular painting, drawing and close observation of the landscape around me. I held my first exhibition, 'In the Company of Colour', at Braemar Gallery in June–July 2026.
