We go down south to slow right down. To remember how to love and how to feel again.

In The Flow Of Life |
Oil on Canvas Painting
|
MS92 |
The flow of the rivers. The passing of night to day. Our lives here and our holidays there. City to forest. Ground to sky. Life and renewal. The feeling of being in the flow of it.

There is Thomsons Bay, the cottages on Kelly Street, the West End, beaches and the bays. This is our summer escape.

I love those warm summer days at Rottnest. The blue on blue of sky and sea. The boats and the beaches.
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.
Radical Optimist |

MK59 |
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.

The summer air rests over Rottnest and Cottesloe. Our life is a beach party.
Living With Our Whole Hearts |
Oil on Linen Painting
|
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.
We Feast, We Forage, We Fly |

SP13 |
I love the red-tail cockatoos, the magpies, the twenty eights and the seagulls. They make sense of our crazy world and live beside us so generously. I think of them as a blessing, that they habitually turn up in my yard every year. I really like them.
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.

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.
