Embrace in the grotto of the blessed Oil on canvas 100x100 cm 2022
I live and work in Djilang, Australia. My work tries to connect with themes like time and remembrance.
I am inspired by photographs that motivate me to develop images further in a drawing or a painting. Family and vintage photos and film stills that have an atmosphere or aura that I am attracted to can provide a start to new paintings.
I am interested in figurative and abstract pictures, often blending invented forms with stylized Romantic settings.
I like my pictures to be painterly with a strong graphic sensibility -- conveying something of the feelings that prompted them.
Ideas that begin with old family photos may help me to connect with my past as I think about how that time continues to shape me today.
