There is a pleasure in being close to the water. It untangles us and we feel free and alive.
The Pride of Belonging |

YQ62 |
This is about the people who come together to share a love of the water. The moored boats are a symbol of that quiet sense of belonging.
Perfect Little Bay |

This is a perfect little bay for watching life on the water. The swans, the ducks and the boats. I love to take my friends there.

I have always felt in a more optimistic frame of mind when I’m at Rottnest. The beaches and the ships delight me. I’ve made the clouds party balloons to capture the joy of being there. It’s a magical place that brings out the best in me.

KN79 |
You’re at Rottnest, and it feels like a party because the place casts a spell over you. The clouds turn into balloons as the spirit of the place lifts you. The island transforms your thinking, and you feel happy and carried away by its charm.
Enchantment |

YL79 |
When the sun goes down at Rottnest, you see all the lovely colours. Perth is turning gold and pink in the sunset. All the lights are coming on and starting to sparkle. The evening light still shines into the water, turning it into a vivid turquoise. I find it mesmerising and enchanting.
Be Still My Beating Heart |

BY49 |
I love the stillness of the water lilies on Margaret River. The birds are coming to rest, just as we do. This is the peaceful place that works its magic. It breathes life back into us and we see beauty again.
Margaret River, Under The Water And Up In The Sky |

|
TC53 |
The Margaret River and its forest lead us. We look down into the river and see the warm rich tones of the shallows. Above us the birds soar through the sky. Here we become a lighter version of ourselves.

Sometimes I’m overwhelmed by the beauty and abundance around us. If ever there was a single place on earth where the best of life is on offer, it’s here.

I’m gazing out at all those uplifting elements. Our city, it’s bridges, the soaring birds and pine trees of Cottesloe Beach.

The summer air rests over Rottnest and Cottesloe. Our life is a beach party.
Living With Our Whole Hearts |

WV21 |
People might sometimes feel disappointed. Or that they sometimes have to compromise too much to get on, to be in business. They might feel a sense of limitation and sacrifice. Yet here we are in this wonderful place. I want to expand people’s view of Perth and invite them to fall in love again with where they live. This is a large painting that shows the vast metropolis of Perth, looking from the north over the forest and lakes and playing fields of our green northern suburbs. The Perth CBD is flanked by the Swan River, which joins with the Canning River to make its gentle way to the Indian Ocean. Looking down the coast, you can see from City Beach to Cottesloe and Fremantle, and down to Garden Island and beyond, right down to the beautiful jetty at Busselton and the lighthouse at Cape Naturaliste.
Longing For Play |
Oil on Linen Painting
|
CK16 |
This painting is about how we’re part of a bigger world with the complexity of bridges, houses and busy places. There is this longing in all of us to find the playful space. There’s the shallows, the Ferris wheel, rainbow colours and the beach. This is about the childhood spirit, that resides in all of us.
Great Big River |

|
JM64 |
Magpies and green parrots soar over the great big river that runs from the city of Perth down to the ocean at Fremantle. The Jacarandas are in bloom, Dingo guards the coast, and cargo ships ply their trade in Gage Roads, coming into the port.

We are dazzled by the golden sun reflected off the city towers. Fortunes are made in this market as pulses race and people dream.

Sydney Sunrise |

FN86 |
This is my Sydney sunrise. You are looking down over Barangaroo, the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. You can see out across the confetti of sailboats on the water, across to Sydney’s beautiful beaches. This is early in the morning when Sydney is just springing to life. The air is crisp. Optimism and potential sweep in with the breeze across the water.
Margaret River Sunlit Pools |

This is a celebration of the Margaret River waterlilies and the beautiful little village. You can see the sun moving across the sky. You are walking up from the river into the village.
City Morning Colours |

|
KY58 |
This painting looks over the city of Perth towards the North in the early morning. I’m pleased with the varied colours that I used in the sky. I’m interested in the complexity and energy of living in this place with all its life and potential. The North is underestimated.
My Dream River |
Oil on Linen Painting
|
HQ76 |
This is a painting about living in the city and dreaming of the river. The little boats in the Claremont Bay are each a story of someone who has decided to spend their time on the water. I’m blending the water and the streets. In my dream, our life and our leisure can flow together seamlessly.
Village Streets Down To The Water |
Oil on Linen Painting
|
RH71 |
The higher up you go, the more Claremont sits perched on the river’s edge. The streets all seem to call you down to the water. Each boat is a little dream of freedom and escape. “Run away!” – that’s the invitation. Come and fly on this breeze until you are ready to turn for home again.
