Debris
Oil, tissue and branches on canvas
100 x 100 x 3.5cm
This is a reworked canvas responding to the changing imagery of Tumbulgum and surrounding areas during the floods. Cattle swimming, red roofs reflecting in the river bend, rich red soil, rolling green hills and blue sky reflecting in the water mass.

The Lighthouse
Acrylic on canvas
76 x 61 x 3.5 cm
Some purists say you shouldn’t paint from a photograph. Easy to say when you haven’t been seduced by the photography of Sean Quinn - Twodogs Photography.The colours that he captures in our local environment inspired me to start painting landscapes and seascapes. With Sean’s permission I have been relaxing into interpreting the beauty he captures. The Lighthouse is seen through the lease of a drone as Fingal Lighthouse dots the jagged coastline. Contrasting colours of the ocean and land highlight the bright white structure.

Bay of Fires
Oil on canvas
92 x 61 x 3.5 cm
This piece is a challenge I set myself based on Bay of Fires in Tasmania. Researching the history of that area brought up a complex dark past, Indigenous, convict, whaling....digging deeper beyond postcard images. I need to thank Jenny Newby for sharing her photography of the area for inspiration.
