Artist Statement

Painting maintains a capacity to be a contemplative, intellectually fertile site from which to extract meaning. To highlight this I fuse seemingly contrary forms, abstracted from a range of popular culture entities. These objects function as a nexus. A point in time and space on which to focus on the ideas that arise from the material and function of life.

Sunshine Coast Council acknowledges the Sunshine Coast Country, home of the Kabi Kabi peoples and the Jinibara peoples, the Traditional Custodians, whose lands and waters we all now share.
We commit to working in partnership with the Traditional Custodians and the broader First Nations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) community to support self-determination through economic and community development.
