Blue Moon Rising

"Mrs. Simpsons Garden".  A bold and striking work.  This piece is homage to a wonderful Physical Culture teacher I had through my formative years.  The writing in this piece is hers, and the colours are reminiscent of the leotards that we wore when young.  She had a profound impact on who I became, and I love that this work will always be around in memory of her.

"Continental Baths - Wollongong".  This original competition pool abuts the ocean, was often inundated by high tides and large waves.  The old concrete pavilion with it’s blue paint and tiles, and the solid concrete and rock wall surround that ‘protected’ it from the elements.  This pool is an historic element in this areas history.

Beyond the Dumpers

"Outback Conversation"  This work references the colours and strength of Outback Australia.  Harsh, rugged ridgelines and ravines beside the undulating sand hills, burnt colours and the resilience and strength of native shrubbery.  This work speaks to the the underlying conversations this land wants to have with us, and the reverence this land provokes.

Outback Conversation

"Distant Stories".  A strong, yet minimal work.  I love the strength and serenity of this work, and know that it has been achieved by navigating the creative process with all its pushes and pulls. Whilst the facade presented may be 'calm', this has been achieved by working through the myriad of under-layers and influences which have all contributed to the end result. Like life, there are so many layers which have come together to inform this work, and whilst it is simple and strong - there is a conversation that happened on the journey that has very much guided the work to this outcome.  I believe that this creative journey must not be dismissed as 'lost in the process'.  For me it IS the process - and that is where I find the joy.

"Dirty Martini".  A striking work.  The shapes and colours are, to me, reminiscent of glassware and olives.  A fun little piece to have on your trolley or bar.
