Throughout my diverse career journey, one constant thread has defined my identity: I am, at heart, a painter.

​​

In 2015, I made the pivotal decision to relocate from bustling inner-city Sydney to the tranquil landscapes of Lake Heights in the Illawarra Region. Inspired by the ethereal light that bathes the unique terrain of Lake and Escarpment, I found myself drawn to a new colour palette and thematic exploration.

​

The industrial and coastal suburban backdrop of my new surroundings became not only the physical setting but also the foundation of my recent paintings. Marrying years of experience in the film industry with the metaphorical and archetypal symbolism of my early works, I embarked on a journey of artistic evolution.

 

The result is a growing collection of paintings that hopefully not only captivate visually but also invite viewers into a world of intrigue and introspection.
