It may have been the spectacular paring of mid sixties' Marvellous Melbourne combined with my parents' unique genetic blend, which brought to life a dynamic instinct in me to project paintings from my inner gallery into the world at large.

 

Being in my garden inspires me. Different shades  and textures of the plants - and the light playing on them. This translates directly in the textural nature of my paintings - with layering of tone on tone and the use of many pigments to achieve the finished effect.

 

Texture and layering is very important when works are to be hung in a domestic setting - my works invite people to look at them in a variety of ways: a few steps back will reveal the over all effect of the design, while close up it is possible to see the layers of pigments, glaze, and brush or knife strokes. They are very tactile pieces.
