Visual Art – Sydney

I am a contemporary artist with a passion for art that is constantly driving and challenging me to make artworks that I love and that I can share with my audience. I grew up on the northern beaches of Sydney and it is through my art that I attempt to recycle the picturesque moments and highlights of everyday life. I use photography as a starting point, capturing candid moments everyday - from the simple to the sublime. In todays fast paced world, simple moments of everyday life are often missed too easily as society is clouded by consumerism. Taking a light hearted & witty take on my paintings at times, I cant help but be a little bit nostalgic. It is through my art works and my duty as an artist to shed light on these moments and memories that everybody can relate to. I have recently graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree majoring in painting, from Sydney's National Art School.
