ARTIST NOTES: Influence: My love of Pelicans stems back for many years. When I was young, my parents always took us to the beach for holidays and it seemed wherever we went, there they were. Large majestic birds with beautiful pink bills and extra long wings to carry them through the air with ease. Their comical expressions and unorthodox water landings had me captivated, so much so I started painting them in different scenarios from so many wonderful memories.

This particular piece is a favourite of mine. I wanted to capture one of these fine feathered beauties on canvas and have the attention directed solely on the subject. No background to detract the eye hence the name “Solo Performance”. Created mainly with a grey, black and white palette, I decided to only add a hint of colour. I am hoping with this piece, the viewers’ imagination will take over and create their own background scenario.

ARTIST BIO

"An everchanging palette of colour infussed with energy and movement through paint and texture"

"Discovering a passion for art at a young age was the beginning of a long creative journey. After Secondary College, I completed a two year Fine Art and Design Course at TAFE. Struggling with funds saw me look for full time employment. With the skills I had learnt and my willingness to learn, I secured full time work in an Art Department at a large Offset Printing Firm. I continued my full time work in this field for many years. In my spare time I dabbled in my true love of drawing and painting; commission pieces and my own fave subjects which I was lucky to sell.

Last year was a big move from full time Graphic Designer to full time Artist. Having my own Home Studio allows me to concentrate on my true passion now.

Searching original techiques with different angles is nothing new for me. Finding ways to put my work "out there" is a constant challenge and one I love.

Not being content with the traditional approach alone, I find myself searching ways to tweak it a little, to "think outside the square" adding extra visual enticement. Exploring new concepts, ideas, having a keen imagination for creating new scenarios using other mediums, materials and texture is also fun and lets face it, this is why I paint.......I love the creative journey.

Like a lot of things around us which evolve, so does the world of art. I am not trying to create a new "movement" in teh cycle, merely move with my own artistic ideas and creative ability to keep in line with todays tgrends.

My paintings are a reflection on how I see our beautiful world and all it envelopes. My passion for life and its beauty is portrayed in every piece of my work. Art gives me the license to freely express myself, a way to share my individuality and how I see the world, one which I hope you will enjoy as you browse through my works".
