What are the unique attributes of your art?

I think that the colours l use definitely add a statement to my work, l only use professional artist acrylic paints that have an opaque finish. Most people think l use oils paints because of the richness in my colour finish, but l paint each colour twice sometimes three times till l get the desired opaque finish. The intricacy l place in my work takes people on a journey of discovery with many stating they still find new bits and pieces within the work weeks after purchase.

I enjoy hiding things throughout the painting, people are amazed at how much l can cram into one painting. I enjoy extra large scale painting, l think if you have even one statement piece in your large room it is better than 3 small ones. A large original painting is an investment, so why not make one that no one can miss!

I started painting as a child and did art through school, but didn't go into formal art training until 2009 where l completed a double degree in Fine Art and Visual Culture. Since then l have worked as a professional artist selling my paintings to the USA, Britain and all over Australia.
