“In my recent paintings I try to reveal the world around me, focussing on the landscape that we see but often do not notice. I use colour and light to deconstruct a scene and add an underlying narrative to the landscape. Inspiration for a painting comes to me randomly. I usually photograph the initial scene and work from modified images. I play around with the composition and colour until it feels right. In most of my recent work there is always something man-made within the composition, often adding an unsettling element to the scene, be it, roads cutting through the rugged landscapes of Tasmania, random buildings in the Royal National park or the colourful urbanity of Newtown above street level.”
