This group of paintings grew from countless evenings spent watching the last golden light fade across the paddocks. It's that in-between time when colours soften, shadows lengthen, and the landscape seems to grow quiet.

'Whispers In Blue' The Creation Process Each painting was created with bold, physical gestures. Layers were added, scraped, splattered, an

Discovering Tranquility in Art There’s a quiet shift in the studio, reflected in two new pieces that lean into softness, space, and subtle movement. These works invite viewers to immerse themselves in tranquility, evoking feelings of calm. Whispering Waves Whispering Waves: A Gentle Embrace Whispering Waves offers a sense of weightless calm. Its gentle layers of blue and creamy whites flow like sea fog meeting the sky. This piece is perfect for interiors that call for stilln
