Wide Blue Yonder

Tuesday 18 October, 2011

My paintings represent a love affair with Australia. Our vast horizons. The intensity of light and exuberant colours. The patterns in the landscape – of waves, of sunlight on water, of fish schooling, of trees in a hillside, of animal tracks. Of figures gesturally sketched, backlit on a beach. The iconic simplicity of a sail out to sea.

I’m committed to continuing the fine tradition of Australian Landscape – in my own slightly abstracted contemporary way. (My heroes are Williams, Olsen, all the Johnson’s, and Whiteley).

Which means I have to travel – to forage for ideas for my canvases. As I love nature and love the natural beauty of the earth, its no co-incidence I’m drawn to the same places we all are when we need to take solace, rest, unwind. The holiday destinations.

Visiting, or revisiting places to see them in new light, I bring back my ideas and thoughts and sketches and found objects and colour reference soil or sand samples and photos and transform the ideas back onto canvas in the studio.

I tend to work in three main palettes – inland reds, ocean blues and sunlight on ocean, burnished sky silvers and bronzes. I use a fair bit of texture/impasto in various layers with glazing in a fairly self taught and ever evolving technique.

As an artist I never stop looking. My paintings are visual thoughts, captured moments in time, explored with colour, texture and the joy of paint.
