“My work is grounded in the experience of places that are meaningful to me: the hills and plains of south-western NSW where I live and work and Central Australia which I have visited many times. My practice involves time spent en plein air observing and recording colours, shapes, lines and patterns of the landscape. The resulting notes, drawings and photographs are taken back to the studio where they are translated into semi-abstract paintings which are evocative rather than literal depictions of specific places. This approach leaves room for the viewer to reflect on their own memories of landscape.”
