Artist Profile
 |
I currently work as a geologist and spend most of my spare time creating art - mainly acrylic paintings and some digital art. I grew up in Brighton, Victoria until I started work as a geologist. I then spent the next 15 years moving from Central Victoria -> Mount Isa, Qld -> Tennant Creek, NT -> ....... until finally settling down in Perth, WA in 1995. I enjoy immersing myself in wide variety of artistic mediums. I love to place paint onto the canvas and let my imagination take over! |

| My work to date mostly consists of acrylic and mixed media using bold, bright colours and patterns. Recently I have been creating digital artwork on the computer and manipulating my photos/original artwork using various adjustments, filters and effects. As a geologist I have lived in many remote locations with the scenery, rock formations, textures and colours adding inspiration to my artwork. I attack my art work with the exact opposite mind frame/approach to my work as a geologist. As a geologist, my work is very structured, exact and purposeful which is in direct contrast to my art work which is quite random and free. |

David Giles and Jacky McFarlane introduced me to acrylics and both have given me the confidence to express my feelings and work freely. I have exhibited/sold my art work in a number of club and council exhibitions including:
I was a first prize art winner at the Freedom School of Art Exhibition. |
