The wilderness is at the heart of everything I create. I grew up in country Australia, where I roamed the wetlands and native bush, drawing and painting the natural landscape from a young age. 

Drawing and painting from life (en plein-air) is elemental to my practice as it gives an energy and a mark that  comes from the immediate atmosphere and landscape.The sound of wind rushing through crevices, the smell of wet moss, a bright burnt orange or burnt black colour that leaps out from the silver greys are observations, feelings and memories that stay with me long after I have returned home.  I either hike to remote and wild places carrying light weight materials or camp in wilderness places for weeks at a time to try and capture the essence of place through drawing and paint. These places are not only special to me but important areas of significance for the future of human and animal kind.

I aspire to an aesthetic, emotional, physical and spiritual response to nature through mark making, the quality of line, movement, colour and form, as opposed to a purely literal representation. I am particularly interested in non-literal colour as a representation of the inner emotional response to a landscape and the more theoretical concepts of colour and simplification of form.
