My passion for watercolour painting began early, from the moment I held my first paintbrush. The medium, however, has remained both challenging and unpredictable, making the journey one of persistence, patience and continual learning. As a self-taught artist, I developed further knowledge through a Visual Arts Certificate focused on traditional painting techniques in watercolours and oil painting, along with two Graphic Design certificates at Central Queensland University. 

Working with traditional watercolours, I create paintings that explore a range of themes and subjects. I use Winsor and Newton artist-quality watercolours and artist-quality cold-press, acid-free 190gsm and 300gsm cotton papers. I find inspiration in everyday life, human connection and coastal environments.

I have placed a strong focus on figurative work for many years. I have developed my skills through studies of human anatomy and life drawing. The work of Austrian artist Gustav Klimt's The Kiss, and Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflowers have been lasting influence. These inspirations were further enriched by my family  holidays to Austria in Vienna and Salzburg, as well as a holiday to Amsterdam and Paris and Strasbourg in France. 

Featuring on my YouTube channel mini watercolour meditations and my own Pinterest account where I share ideas for artworks for the home and office. Recently, my focus has shifted toward digital exhibitions presenting my latest series, supported by a catalogue.

I love connecting with collectors. If you have any questions about my pieces or process, feel free to drop me a message or email me at landscapewatercolours@gmail.com
