ARTISTS STATEMENT
As an Artist I always paint images that are meaningful to me.I paint what I love using a broad range of techniques and methods. I love to abstract and paint on large canvases with bold colour and loose brush strokes and often a large palette knife sometimes suggesting figures. I like painting the Australian landscape but always with a slant towards the modern especially the outback with it's brilliant colours. |
