"All my life has been spent in and around the coastline of NSW Australia, I have been painting on and off since childhood and professionally for 5 years, as an artist I feel there is so much more to learn and love the journey of learning new techniques in creating my works. It comes very natural for me to want to express the energy, moods of the ocean, clouds and wave movement via the brush. I am intrigued in the colours, shades and transparency that constantly changes in the ocean, and as a keen surfer these can be up close and very personable. The whole experience of capturing the power or serenity of this enviroment poses different challenges as does the expression through surrealism, impressionism or traditional approaches. There is just so much going on above and below the ocean and I guess as an artist for me the challenge is to express this creation as I see and feel it, I hope you enjoy my expressions ".
