Meet the Artist

My Story
I am a self-taught Australian Artist based in Sydney.
After studying a Bachelors of Engineering in Material Science, I worked in various engineering roles while painting in my spare time. Art became an escape from the pressure and demands of modern life.
In the digital age where everything demands your attention, moments of quiet, calm reflection are stolen from us.
I decided that I wanted to pursue being an artist, not just for myself but so I could give back some of those moments to others. The world is so incredibly beautiful, we just need a moment to slow down.
When the world slows down and finally allows you to breathe
How I Work
I always look to nature as my inspiration. My paintings are a moment in time; waves crashing against the rocks, birds taking flight, sunlight playing on the clouds.
The feeling of being grounded to your environment and connected to your inner-self.
Each piece starts as an experience. The final piece is then built layer by layer starting with an initial sketch and acrylic underpainting to draft the composition. The oil painting is then built on top of this foundation with colour creating depth and atmosphere to the scenery.
