These paintings have been inspired by many hours spent drawing and painting in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. My paintings evoke nature’s processes of transformation and renewal, embodying complex narratives of life - the balance and paradox of pain and pleasure, love and loss. As I contemplate the boundless depths and limitless beauty of the earth, I encounter joy and experience solace… the immeasurability of the sky and the radiance of light breaking through in dark places fills me with awe and reminds me of majesty, hope and freedom.
