Artist Statement:
"Finding the time to lock myself away in the studio while I work through a new piece is a luxury amongst the busyness of everyday life.

Each painting is an opportunity to revisit a favoured holiday destination for this time spent painting. Like the precious time to paint, having the time to walk, swim or surf along these narrow coastlines is limited. It is this limited time and usually no public accessibility that makes these places so special for me to visit, usually for only an hour or two each year.

Most of my paintings are representations of the hour or so of dawn and dusk where shadows, light and colour change rapidly, producing endless patterns, forms and colours amongst the breaking waves, clouds, sand dunes and the beach itself.

It is rare to be able to walk along kilometers of pristine white sand beach, an hour from Brisbane and the Gold Coast and perhaps only see one person fishing amongst the diving sea birds. This sense of solitude and isolation amongst a landscape constantly reshaped by tides, storms and wind is the main focus of my work. I strive to be being able to accurately capture the light, shades, patterns and scale of these unique island coastlines and the sense of delicate isolation they have retained so close to our major cities ."
