About The Artist

I find reward in following my creative desires and in the belief that if I apply my art work effectively I may expose, challenge and draw attention to the unique qualities of nature and/or urgent environmental situations we are facing today. I firmly believe that art has the power to raise environmental awareness, where the sciences too often fail. Art can engage with a wider audience in a non threatening manner and if successful, the message can connect on an emotional level. I seek the company of like minded artists and enjoy the process of learning from them, new approaches and techniques, to continue to develop and refine my own style of the craft of art. My art tends to employ the medium that best fits the subject matter or the message I wish to give. Whether its the detailed botanical style, large format, vibrant oil colours, recycled materials or found objects, each medium and style provides its own distinctive qualities and opportunities to translate and create. I also often attempt to utilise symbolism in my work as a method of translating the message. My motivation & reward is the desire and processes of art creation. The development of an idea, initiating the construction, and finally seeing a completed form. Regardless of what medium, the thrill is the journey, the reward, the finished piece.
