Growing up on the sunny, light-filled north coast of NSW in Australia, my world was (and still is) full of magic and wonder. Celebrating the amazing nuances of light, shade, tone, colour and texture, on canvas, is my life's work.

The process of creating art can lift us up - inspire us, even enlighten us.

To show you how to fill your images with light and life!  And, most importantly, to have fun while you're at it.  I use Artists quality acrylic paints by Chroma Australia, Atelier Interactive and Atelier Free Flow.
