PROFILE

My artwork is designed to create energy, movement, emotion and colour.  Imagination is used to juxtapose the various features in each artwork.  The artworks are colourfully interpreted using a variety of media executed contemporary concept.

I am fascinated by the environment, architecture and life.  These subjects provide immense opportunities to create beautiful and colourful artworks in an imaginative format.  I continually explore different methods and styles to create artwork that capture the imagination and be visually pleasing.

Heritage and the environment are recorded visually using many different media.  It is often the artist’s own interpretation of how they view their environment and experience.  The artwork I create aims to present the various subjects in a positive and colourful way to capture the viewer’s attention and appreciation.
