ARTIST NOTES: Influence: Pelicans are such graceful birds whilst souring through the air, a sheer delight to watch with their giant wing span and impressive giant bill. When they make an entry onto the water however, its a different story. Living by the Bay, I am witness to many of these large birds and have had, on many occasions witnessed their “not so graceful” landing. Being such a large bird, they do make a splash when descending on to the calm waters of my Bay. As I observe their awkward style, I am in awe of their rapid decrease in speed, there legs and webbed feet sprayed out looking more like their going to put a webbed foot on the car brakes.
This is my tribute to my fave water bird: the Pelican. This particular species of Pelican is called the “Grey White Pelican” also known as the Eastern Pelican, Rosy Pelican or White Pelican.

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".
