I am going through a phase at the moment where my work has been inspired by traditional African art. As I am an artist who loves vibrant colours this new line of works really fits my style and I hope that you all enjoy it too!

A sunset photo I took a few days ago when me and the kids went fishing off Urangan Pier in Hervey Bay.
I am still here guys just been busy with a house move. I will have more art coming soon and figured I'd post a pic with me and my work in progress just so you know where I'm up to.
This is a portrait of my other half. I took a secret photograph of him one evening just after he got home from work as he was relaxing in the back sunroom. I then decided to do a painting from the photo as I thought it had so much character. 30cm x 40cm Acrylic medium.
Here is some beautiful Australian wild life - The Regent Bowerbird. I have painted the male species in it's mature and immature form. These guys are found in rainforest areas from central NSW up to QLD. Acrylic medium on 50cm x 40cm canvas.
I am a self taught artist who was fortunate enough to grow up in a family of artists. My mother being my inspiration and my tutor for many years allowed me to become the artist I am today.
All my pieces are the result of things that have inspired me, everything I feel & love about the subject is preserved within each painting. My aim as an artist is to create art that speaks.."
