Creating art…
Contemporary Australian artist using oils to paint landscapes and portraits but also using painting techniques to create digital art and virtual reality environments.
I am not interested in using art as a vehicle for political or activist purposes but make art for art’s sake (and to make a living). I hope other people enjoy looking at my art as much as I enjoy making it.
I work from my studio/family-home in the bush near Gundaroo about 40km from Canberra and most of my paintings draw inspiration from the surrounding countryside. Most of my oil paintings are based on photos I have taken but much of the digital and VR is based on imagined creatures and environments.
I completed an honours degree in visual arts at the Australian National University and my major work involved researching and developing virtual reality environments with a painterly style, particularly focussed on the horror genre.
