ARTISTS STATEMENT:
I have chosen to follow the representational style of painting because of my strong emotional response to the effects of light, colour, atmosphere, and form. In the tradition of Australian Landscape Artists, I usually paint directly from the subject. My objective for each painting is to be able to observe, select and clarify the subject to a simple set of tonal shapes, combined with colour and draughtsmanship to capture the mood and sensitivity of the subject.
