I am an artist based in Toowoomba, inspired by the Australian landscape. I often find my creative voice through En Plein Air painting. By immersing myself in nature and studying the landscape along with its history, I strive to capture its beauty with oils, emphasising the vibrant interplay of colour and light that defines our natural surroundings.

My work often goes beyond mere representation; it celebrates ecology and pays homage to the cultural and everyday narratives interwoven within the landscapes I depict. I aim to educate my audience about the significance of these environments, fostering a deeper appreciation for their beauty and resilience. Through each brushstroke, I invite viewers to experience a sense of wonder and awe, challenging them to see the world from new perspectives. My art serves as a bridge to reconnect with the environment, ultimately inspiring others to recognise and cherish nature's intricate complexities and appreciate its beauty and cultural significance.
