'Ivanhoe' Series
This is my latest work and it embodies an eclectic style inspired by the landscapes and Indigenous culture of this beautiful land. As I deepen my understanding of my connection with my mob, my perspectives evolve, enriching my art. It brings me joy and I want to share that with my customers.
'Spring Fields'
'Spring Fields'
This piece inspires me everyday. It is my representation of all the minute colours, blooms, seeds and plants bursting to life from the rich, warm soils of the Ivanhoe fields. Each petal and leaf formed perfectly in extraordinary fashion from the fine red dirt- without fail, every year bursting and growing. Some years are better than others as Mother Nature determines, but still spring is once again on our doorstep with new life, vigour and exhilaration.

Acrylic on canvas in floating timber frames
40cm X 50cm X 3.5cm
This piece captures the force and rejuvenation of flood waters. Yes they can be very distructive too but the Willandra Creek system is such a lifeforce for our land and animals that the flood waters are welcomed, more often than not. The water flows in whatever direction it can, meandering across the plains refreshing the ground and inviting birds and animals to drink. Black swans, pelicans and even seagulls flock to watery lands and we even had fish swimming up the bitumen roads.

This series is inspired by the many beautiful, strong and captivating women that I have close to me in my life. They are my inspiration on so many levels. Each piece has specific colours and fauna chosen for the love and support each woman has provided me and, I hope, I have recipricated in our relationships.
'Charnea'
'Charnea'
This piece is for a friend in Victoria- she brightens my world each and everytime we speak or spend time together. The banksia seed pods remind me of a stroll on a pier with the plants growing wildly in the sand.
