Embracing Limitations - Work in Progress
Working with limited colours and materials can give us a new creative freedom to explore, experiment, test and try things out. As creatives, I think we have a natural propensity for problem solving and finding solutions is something we do with every brushstroke or pencil mark. We are always moving our work forward with the ultimate aim of finding a satisfactory resolution of some kind.

No ordinary day in the city
It's not like I haven't been to Brisbane before - having worked there for a few years and having spent plenty of time exploring the city on many occasions in the past 20 or so years I've been living on the Sunshine Coast. What struck me this time though, was the difference in my perspective of the city.

The Sub Way - Work in Progress
It's a similar story with all of my paintings - from the chaotic beginnings to the final resolution, the journey is guided only by what emerges autonomously and my sense of awareness of what is unfolding in front of me.

Sketchbook Time - Work in Progress
My trusty sketchbook is never far away, whatever I'm working on in the studio. I see it as a free space, with no rules, just for play. It's a testing ground for ideas, colours and shapes. It's also a dumping ground for left over paint and interesting snippets of collage paper that seem too precious to throw away.
