I was born in Australia in 1946 and live in Melbourne, Victoria, where I studied Fine Art. I have exhibited in Melbourne, Sydney and overseas, and feel fortunate to live in a country which offers such wonderful visual inspiration.
|
Additionally, I derive spiritual motivation from the Australian indigenous culture, and climate change is a thematic concern. |
As a landscape painter of the contrasting vistas of sea and desert, I choose to portray the landscape in transitory weather situations dominated by dramatic skies, with contrasting light providing the main focus. |

These paintings, exhibited in the TIA ‘Liberated Dreams’ exhibition in April, 2012, are from locations in Central Australia which I consider the heart of this country with its awe-inspiring scenery.
|
Being desert, this area is dry for much of the year and I have depicted the landscape being liberated by water. |
I feel these weather conditions best promote the mystery of this ancient landscape and emphasises our transitory existence within its timelessness. |
