  • Painting

I'm an artist painting in Newcastle NSW Australia and I absolutely love colour!

I started painting three years ago and I haven't stopped since. I have an Advanced Diploma in Fine Art - screen printing was my thing, but I've done many painting courses since then with artists I admire.

My art is based around a collection of stuff - some might call junk that I've found over the years, and more sentimental trinkets and my home town, my garden, laneways, quirky things and parks.

I have a tiny studio so I have to paint small - bigger things to come in the future I hope.

Artist Interview
What medium do you work with, and why have you chosen them?

I paint with oil and acrylic, I like them both. I love painting on marine ply with that hard surface, but lately I've been exploring stretched canvas. I also collage when I have time, mostly just for me.
