My artistic focus revolves around crafting unique paintings and drawings inspired by the places I have visited, forming a continuous exploration of the Australian landscape. The outcome is a vibrant and dynamic visual narrative, inviting audiences to immerse these works in their homes, galleries, or commercial spaces.
My intention is to inspire, challenge, and fortify the broader community by producing affordable, beautiful, and thought-provoking artworks.
My pieces have found a place in both private and public collections, gracing numerous galleries throughout Australia. I am proudly represented by galleries in Sydney and The Barossa Valley.

Deeply connected to the natural beauty and historical significance of the Barossa, I feel compelled to translate its essence onto canvas.

EXPLORING THE UNKNOWN
This recent body of work feature boats and travellers, searching for undiscovered lands or a place to call home. There is a narrative in each of the works that examines exploration: exploring unknown landscapes and vast open vistas. The works convey a tentativeness about what lies ahead but convey hope and optimism for the future.

BEAUTY AND CHAOS
