In 2022, I created a series of paintings for Artlink Projects in the UK, and I finally have some photos of the completed works in situ. The main commission, Luminous Sands is one of the largest commissions I have worked on, and I am very happy with the results.
Every artist has their own source of inspiration and for me it is all about the landscape. The place where I live is incredibly beautiful, with beaches and river estuaries surrounded by forests and ancient volcanos. It is a backdrop that deserves to be celebrated on canvas.
In January I did a trip through the South Island of New Zealand, and it was a remarkable experience. There is something about snow-capped mountains and glacial lakes that invigorates the soul. It’s the colours, the composition, the clarity of the light that is now etched in my memories.
One of the challenges of being an artist is that you don’t often get to see your artwork in its final location. I often receive photos from collectors (which I really appreciate) but I don’t often get to see the work in person. With my Barangaroo commission I decided to seek it out.
During 2022, my art has moved into warmer tones inspired by sandy beaches and desert landscapes. This began with my Palermo series over the summer and has reached interesting new heights with my latest commission, Luminous Sands.

The internet has revolutionised the way we purchase art. With the development of eCommerce platforms and the reduced costs of global trade, it now relatively easy to sell art all around the world.

One of the great things about living in the Noosa region is the proliferation of artists. This is an area that supports the visual arts and over time, a thriving community has developed. As part of that community, the Noosa Open Studios exhibition has become an important event in the calendar.
