This painting is about conflict, destruction and the fragile hope that follows. Inspired by the devastation in Gaza, it reflects a city broken but not gone – layers of chaos, raw emotion, and flashes of bright color that hint at renewal. Start Again is my wish for peace in the Middle East, for rebuilding, and for a future where people can live side by side in harmony.

This painting started out as a bit of a daydream about industrial spaces—the kind that feel gritty and chaotic, but strangely beautiful too. I’ve always been fascinated by shipping yards: all that movement, the clatter of containers, and the towering shapes that almost look sculptural when you step back.
The Shipping Yard leans into that feeling of organised chaos. There’s a sense of weight and machinery here—blackened shapes, muted tones, hints of steel and concrete. But there are also these little pops of colour and unexpected forms, like moments of life pushing through all the metal and grime.
It’s a piece about structure, tension and the strange poetry of workspaces. Hard-edged, but full of rhythm. You don’t need to have stood in one to feel it—you just need to let your eyes wander through the layers.

I used a couple of my favourite blended pinks on top of a number of layers of purple to create a moody and atmospheric scene. The layers of paint build upon each other, much like the layers of emotion in the song Purple Rain by one of my favourite artists of all time, Prince. The painting captures the essence of sorrow and hope intertwined, much like the lyrics of the iconic song.
Includes Tasmanian oak frame in black.

This painting celebrates light. I am often drawn to the intensity and saturation of deeper hues, but I challenged myself to focus on the absence of darkness and have faith that the emotional tenor of my work could be equally solid without it. It brought warmth and comfort to bask in sunshine’s palette.

Gold Mountain tells the story of my love of nature. I chose large canvases so I could experiment with more expansive movement, and a series to explore the relationships between some of my most inspiring milieus. The echoes between mountains, the symbiosis between ecosystems, the stillness between tides. I painted these simultaneously, and as I layered and blended, the colour palette washed me in feelings of courage and strength; I became a mirror for the awesome power of the natural world around us. I hope those undercurrents transcend the canvas to infuse you with these same emotions, because we, and our surroundings, are all truly connected.

This painting is a tribute to a beautiful person who was taken from us too soon. Louise was beautiful, interesting, colourful and really funny. She loved music and in particular, the song Silver Raven by Gene Clarke. I wanted to paint something with these traits in mind. She also had a tattoo of a bluebird which I have included. Just like the Silver Raven and the bluebird, she is now free to fly where the wind takes her. We will never forget you Louise.

Snakes and Ladders is a playful nod to the twists, turns, wins and setbacks we all face. Just like the game, there are moments you feel like you’re climbing high — bright streaks and rising shapes — and others where you slide right back down, tangled in dark swirls and unexpected detours. The mix of greens, deep blues and bold marks creates a sense of movement and unpredictability, like life’s little game board in motion. It’s about chance, change and the thrill of not quite knowing what’s around the next roll of the dice.

I admire the beauty and complexity of modern architecture. This painting is a representation of titanium steel building structures, showcasing the sleek and modern aesthetic of architectural design from an arial perspective. My intention using bold lines and geometric shapes was to bring these structures to life, exuding a sense of strength and innovation.

This painting depicts a world where everyone seems to be striving for power and control, instead of living in harmony. Despite this theme, I have infused the painting with strong, bright colours to represent strength, hope and peace in the midst of chaos and hopefully serves as a reminder that even in the face of conflict, there is always room for peace and unity.

This one’s the second piece in my Maritime series — and it’s anchored (pun intended) by that little pop of yellow right in the middle. The painting is titled Yellow Buoy because that’s exactly what it reminded me of: those bright floating markers that bob around in the sea, quietly doing their job, helping sailors find their way.
I love the contrast here — that bold yellow set against all the moody teal, grey and flashes of hot pink. It’s like the buoy is holding its ground (or rather, its water) while the sea churns and shifts around it.
The lines and shapes kind of drift and loop, almost like currents — nothing’s fixed, but that buoy stays steady. It’s symbolic in a way — a reminder of how something small can be a guide in the middle of a lot of chaos.
This painting is playful, sure, but also has that sense of direction and purpose — just like a real yellow buoy out on the open water.

Girls Night Out is a vibrant and lively painting that celebrates the bonds of women friendship and the joy of spending time together. The colours are bold and playful, mirroring the energy and excitement of a night out with friends. I aimed for this painting to exude confidence and happiness, showcasing the power of female camaraderie and the importance of having fun with those we love. This piece is a tribute to the special moments shared between women and the memories created during a night out on the town. Includes Tasmanian oak frame in black.

This painting, Cosmo, is all about that feeling of floating in something bigger—whether it's the universe, a moment, or a mood. The name comes from the Greek word kósmos, which touches on ideas of order, the universe and even a kind of quiet beauty in chaos. I loved playing with that tension in the painting—soft blush tones meeting deep navy blues, and moments of calm sitting right next to areas that feel a bit more wild and unpredictable.
There’s a sort of dreamy structure to it, almost like fragments of memories or distant galaxies that haven’t quite formed yet. You might see different things every time you look at it, and that’s kind of the point. It’s meant to feel expansive, layered and a little cosmic—like you're looking at a small piece of a much bigger story.
